Ansys Startup Program Aims to Empower the Next Generation of Engineers
The Ansys Startup Program offers simulation software bundles custom bundled for engineering challenges. The program is priced for early-stage startups with limited funding and revenue to help them get to market faster and with a quality product or technology. 
Startup Program Offering
Faced with limited funding and revenue, many startups must rely on building and testing physical prototypes to verify product performance, which often requires considerable financial and human resources. The physical prototyping process is also notoriously time-consuming, which increases barriers for winning the race to market against potential competitors.
The Ansys Startup Program equips the startup ecosystem with access to Ansys’ broad portfolio of simulation solutions, bundled and affordably priced to help early-stage startups grow their businesses while significantly reducing physical prototype tests.
Eligible startups get access to technical support, the opportunity to engage on mutually beneficial marketing opportunities, and the following product bundles spanning many areas of physics:
Structures & Fluids Bundle
Electromagnetics Bundle
Embedded Software Bundle
Optics and Photonics Bundle
