While 2025 was the year of AI exploration, 2026 is the year of the breakout. New global data from 350 senior engineering leaders reveals a widening gulf between those stalled in “pilot purgatory” and a new “Productivity Elite” who have successfully tripled their Engineering AI deployments year-on-year.
Watch this webinar as SimScale and guest speakers unveil the first look at the 2026 State of Engineering AI report. We will deep-dive into the five critical enablers that allow top-velocity teams to evaluate 100x more design variants and accelerate timelines from pilot to production. We’ll also confront the “uncomfortable truth” of data chaos, exploring why data preparation remains a key blocker for many, and how to solve it.
Learning objectives:
- Define “Agentic Engineering” and understand how to move from simple AI co-pilots to autonomous, governed engineering agents.
- Identify the “Scale-Five” enablers (Cloud-native stack, GPU access, Managed data, Reusable templates, and Governance) required for enterprise-scale AI.
- Learn strategies to eliminate the data preparation bottleneck, which currently consumes the majority of project time for non-breakout teams.
- Establish a framework for “Minutes, Not Months” workflows to evaluate significantly larger design spaces without losing accuracy.
