What Happened
On September 24, 2026, dSPACE officially opened its new Italian local company, dSPACE Italia Srl, in Turin. The simulation and validation provider says the location expands its presence in one of Europe's most important automotive and technology hubs and strengthens its collaborative relationships with local customers and partners. The official opening took place as part of a Tech Day event.
At the Tech Day, customers, partners, and industry experts gathered to discuss current developments and challenges in software-defined vehicles, simulation and validation, electromobility, and cybersecurity. The programme included technical presentations, live demonstrations, and one-on-one discussions. Participants gained insights into current technologies and use cases across the development and validation process.
“With our new location in Turin, we are making a targeted investment in proximity to our customers and partners. The region is one of the most important innovation hubs in the European mobility industry. Through our local presence, we can support customers even more directly and drive innovation together.”
- Serve as a central hub for sales, consulting, and technical support
- Lay the foundation for more intensive collaboration with Italian automakers and suppliers
- Support cooperation with research institutions and other technology companies
- Cover customers in Italy beyond automotive, including aerospace, defense, and agriculture
- Give local customers direct access to the global dSPACE network of experts
With the opening of dSPACE Italia, the company says it is continuing its course of international growth and further expanding its global network. The stated goal is to support customers in the world's key innovation regions with local expertise and direct access to the global dSPACE network of experts.
Previously from dSPACE
dSPACE has been broadening its simulation and validation portfolio in recent months. In August 2026 it added driver monitoring simulation to its AURELION platform, using animated 3D models and physics-based infrared cameras for reproducible DMS testing. In July 2026 it introduced MCP-enabled AI agents that connect its validation tools, letting engineers automate handoffs from requirements to hardware testing.

Why this matters
Turin is one of Europe's most important automotive and technology hubs, so the new office gives Italian automakers, suppliers, research institutions, and companies in aerospace, defense, and agriculture more direct local access to dSPACE's simulation and validation expertise and to its global expert network. It also marks another step in the company's stated course of international growth.
