Take the Wheel, make it happen - at the Simulation Leadership Forum 2026
Digital engineering is reshaping product development—but success is not defined by technology alone. It is defined by leadership.
At the Simulation Leadership Forum (SLF), you will learn how to take your digital journey from ambition to execution — turning simulation, data, and models into real business impact.
📍 Gothenburg, Sweden | 📅 9–10 September 2026
What Is the Simulation Leadership Forum?
The Simulation Leadership Forum (SLF) brings together engineering and R&D leaders focused on turning simulation and digital engineering into real business value.
Through keynotes, case studies, and discussions, it shares how leading companies use simulation, data, and models to improve decision-making, scale capabilities, and accelerate innovation.
SLF is a platform for leadership and exchange—helping organisations move from ambition to execution.
Event Theme 2026: Dare to Drive – Taking the Wheel of Digital Engineering
Digital engineering is no longer experimental—it is operational.
The question is no longer if, but how well you lead it.
This year’s theme focuses on how to:
- Move from tools to strategy
- Use data to guide decisions
- Align teams through models and simulation
- Reduce uncertainty in product development
- Lead transformation—not react to it
Because digital engineering is not just a technical challenge—it is a leadership challenge.
Why Attend the Simulation Leadership Forum?
At SLF, we address the questions leaders are asking right now:
- How do you move from simulation experiments to enterprise-wide impact?
- How do you ensure data and models actually improve decision-making?
- How do you align engineering, IT, and business around digital engineering?
- How do you maintain momentum as transformation becomes complex?
- Engineering and R&D leaders
- Simulation and digital engineering managers
- Product development decision-makers
- Digital transformation leaders
- Executives responsible for innovation and strategy
If you are responsible for driving digital engineering or simulation strategy, SLF is built for you.
- A clearer digital engineering strategy
- Practical approaches to scaling simulation
- Insights into organizational alignment and change
- Real-world examples of success and failure
- Confidence to lead your digital transformation journey
