NCC Agenda Preview
September 30 - Executives Evening
A private gathering of industry leaders, focused on what’s needed to scale real results across global R&D organizations.
October 1 - NCC Conference
Opening Keynote — Safety by Design and Technological Innovation at GIGN
• Major General Ghislain Rety, Commander of France’s GIGN Elite Tactical Unit, will share how GIGN is collaborating with OEMs to embed security directly into product design, and how cutting-edge technologies are shaping their future tactics.
Industry Perspectives — Impact at Scale
We will welcome long-time Neural Concept partners who will reflect on the successes and vision of AI in engineering.
Companies who already presented last year as well as new voices will come on stage again to talk about their tour around the sun with NC:
• Shintaro Nakano, Electrification Digital Development Dept Manager, Toyota Motor Corporation
• Dr. Uli Christian Blessing, VP R&D Thermal, Mahle
• Cedric Merlin, Group AI4ALL Director, Valeo
• Antoine Bombenger, Senior Engineering Leader, General Electric
• Dr. Nicholas Simmonds, CFD Methods and Automation Technical Specialist, Jaguar Land Rover
• Dr. Moni Islam, Head of Aero & Aeroacoustics, Audi
• Nicolò Vallana, Rotorcraft Technologies Specialist, Leonardo
Research & Technology — What’s Next in Engineering Intelligence
• Theophile Allard, CTO at Neural Concept, will present a session about our technology roadmap and ongoing research called "Unveiling the next 12 months in Engineering Intelligence — enterprise architecture meets specialized copilots to fast track workflow development and deployment at scale".
• François Fleuret, LLM Research Scientist at Meta, Professor at the University of Geneva, and Neural Concept Founding Member, will also share the latest progress in Large Language Models and Generative AI.
Closing & Networking
The day will conclude with a private reception reserved for peers and industry executives.
October 2 and 3 - Expert Bootcamp
Two days of advanced training on the latest applications of the Neural Concept platform, tailored for expert users pushing the boundaries of engineering workflows.
Why attend
At NCC 2024, you saw the ambition. In 2025, you’ll see the results. Returning teams will share how pilots became deployed workflows — cutting development time and delivering real value in under a year.
From concept to validation, teams are shortening iteration loops, launching variants faster, and making confident decisions earlier. The NC method delivers time and performance gains — in production.
Connect with peers solving real engineering challenges. This is where forward-thinking teams exchange what’s working — and what’s next.
