Ansys Startup Program
Delivered by EDRMedeso, your local Simulation Partner
As a leading Ansys channel partner, EDRMedeso helps startups build simulation capability into their product development from day one. Instead of learning by trial and error—or waiting until you can justify a full-time simulation engineer—you get direct access to industry-leading software and the expertise to use it properly, scaled to where your company actually is.
Why simulation, why now?
- De-risk before you build: Catch design flaws in simulation, not in your first prototype run or your first customer’s hands.
- Expertise on demand: Work with engineers who’ve solved your kind of problem before, without the cost or time of hiring one.
- Grow into it: Start with the access and support level that matches your stage, and scale up as your team and product mature.
Simulation for startups, in practice
Our startup programme gives early-stage companies access to Ansys simulation tools—structural, fluids, electromagnetics, and more—without enterprise-tier cost or complexity. Whether you’re validating a first physical prototype, de-risking a design decision ahead of a funding milestone, or building simulation into your workflow for the first time, we scale licensing and support to where you are, not where a large enterprise customer would be.
What’s included
- Discounted or flexible-term access to Ansys simulation software
- Hands-on guidance for teams using simulation for the first time
- Project-based support to validate designs ahead of key milestones (funding, prototyping, certification)
- A clear path to scale up licensing and support as your team grows
Whether you’re validating your first prototype, preparing for investor due diligence, or just want to know if simulation is right for your product, EDRMedeso can help you figure out what you need—not oversell you on what you don’t.

Simulation helps early-stage startups grow their businesses while reducing physical prototype tests. It also offers the chance to explore and experiment, allowing engineers to develop their products to be the best that they can be.
Simulation technology empowers innovators to ask “what if” questions without limitations, testing scenarios that were previously out of reach and reaching solutions at a fraction of the cost.

What Startups have Said
Other simulation tools aren't the same quality, and we've evaluated all of them. So, the Ansys Startup Program has been very empowering, and we're very grateful for it
— Bernt Øivind Børnich / Halodi Robotics
To generate truly innovative solutions, we required our own R&D which allows our engineers to discover and deliver the best product. The Ansys Startup Program gave us the tools to do that without which we simply wouldn’t have been able to afford at this stage of the business
— Richard McGowan / Fathom
EDRMedeso has played a pivotal role in supporting our simulation and modelling efforts. Their high quality training, swift troubleshooting, and guidance have been invaluable
— Knut Ringstad / Hystar
What you guys have done with your training portal is nothing short of amazing! The flexibility it provides for new engineers on boarding, and the depth of advanced content, is unparalleled. Thank you!
— Lead Engineer / Terex

As an option, you can add a subscription to EDRMedeso’s Training Portal, with:
- 125+ Training Courses
- 1500+ Tutorial Videos
- 6000+ Articles
- 24/7 On-Demand Access
With an optional 2, 5 or 10 days of mentoring, encompassing detailed technical support, training, process validation and acceleration, and knowledge transfer. Contact us if you are interested to know more about the Startup Program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — most startups on our programme are new to simulation. We provide the guidance and hands-on support to get you productive quickly, not just a software licence.
Our startup programme is priced for early-stage companies, not enterprise budgets. Get in touch with a few details about your company and we’ll advise on the options available to you.
No — terms are flexible and scaled to where your company is right now. You can start small and scale up as your team and product needs grow.
Eligibility is assessed case by case based on company stage rather than sector — get in touch with a bit of background on your company and we’ll let you know where you stand.
Not at all — this is one of the most common starting points for our startup clients. We provide hands-on guidance and training so your team can build confidence with the software as you go.
Simulation can validate structural, thermal, fluid, or electromagnetic performance before you commit to a physical prototype — useful for catching design issues early and building evidence ahead of investor or certification milestones. Get in touch with your product and we can advise on the right fit.
Yes — get in touch and we’ll talk through your product and stage with you first, so you know what’s actually useful before any commitment is made.
