News
Altair announced the immediate availability of its simulation-driven innovation software to qualified startup companies through its newly formed Altair Startup Programme.
Tailored specifically to the unique needs of the startup community, the global programme offers preferential pricing for its simulation-driven design, computer-aided engineering, cloud computing and Internet of Things software solutions. The programme also provides no-cost expert consulting to quickly ramp-up startup organisations with the advanced multi-physics optimisation platform, Altair HyperWorks, used by thousands of manufacturers worldwide.
“The startup community has always been at the forefront of innovation in new and high-growth markets of shared interest,” says Michael J. Kidder, senior vice president of corporate marketing of Altair. “This programme provides a powerful vehicle for Altair to connect more directly with hardware startups to help mitigate product performance and financial risks early, realise a successful exit and cost-effectively scale for growth with Altair’s open-architecture simulation solutions.”
The programme includes full-featured access to all Altair software titles, more than 150 Altair Partner Alliance software applications, instructor-led / online / self-paced training courses, expert consulting support and numerous co-marketing opportunities to build startup brand awareness.
The Altair Startup Programme is also available and can be customised for business incubators and accelerators that are interested in expanding the resources available to support startup portfolios. SMB companies falling outside of the qualification criteria may still apply for incentivised offers to get started with Altair solutions.
