Florent Mathieu founded digital imaging software company EikoSim four years ago as a result of research work at the University of Paris-Saclay’s LMT laboratory.

The startup’s main product EikoTwin is image-processing software that enables information to be more accurately transfered between test and design engineers by creating a digital twin that connects directly with simulation pre/post processing tools.

According to Mathieu, EikoTwin closely integrates physically testing into the digital design chain, improving simulation quality, reducing development time and costs and preventing the need for additional testing. It offers engineers better and faster validation and a way of improving their modelling.

In four years the company has grown to employ 14 engineers and scientists, already works with companies such as Ariane Group, Safran and Airbus and is looking to expand internationally.
