Central Innovation is proud to celebrate another major milestone in its long-standing partnership with Dassault Systèmes and SOLIDWORKS, with the business recognised at the AP South CRE Partner Awards during the Dassault SOLIDWORKS Partner Sales Kick Off in Bangkok in March 2026.
At the event, Central Innovation received three significant honours:
- Top Multi Product Contribution Partner
- Top Sales Partner (ANZ)
- Top Sales Partner (AP South)
These awards tell an important story — and a different one to the recognition Central Innovation received at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 in Houston.
Our 3DEXPERIENCE World awards reflected broad performance across cloud, simulation, startups and total bookings at Dassault Systèmes’ annual flagship event for the SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE user communities.
The Bangkok event, by contrast, was a regional partner sales kickoff centred on partner alignment, positioning, sales execution and growth priorities for the year ahead.
That distinction matters.
Where Houston showcased the scale of our contribution across multiple business areas, the AP South CRE Partner Awards in Bangkok were a direct recognition of commercial leadership within one of the most competitive partner environments in the region.
For Central Innovation to be named Top Sales Partner in ANZ is a strong result in a market where customers have real choice and high expectations. To then be named Top Sales Partner across AP South elevates that achievement even further — reinforcing that Central Innovation is not only leading locally, but standing out across a much broader partner ecosystem.
Dassault states that SOLIDWORKS today serves more than 8 million users worldwide and is supported by 450 partners across 120 countries, which gives that regional recognition even more weight.
For Central Innovation, those results are built on clear differentiators in the market. We have worked with these products for more than 30 years. We back that experience with local, onshore support, the longest support window in ANZ, and expert sales teams, specialists and technical support staff who stay involved throughout every stage of the customer journey — before the deal, during implementation, and long after the paperwork is signed.
That customer-focused model continues to set Central Innovation apart.
The Top Multi Product Contribution Partner award is equally important because it reflects how Central Innovation goes to market. This is not about selling one product in isolation. It is about understanding the customer’s operating environment and helping them bring together the right mix of design, collaboration, simulation, cloud and workflow capability to achieve a stronger business result.
That is closely aligned with the direction Dassault and SOLIDWORKS continue to push: connected product development, stronger collaboration, and a platform approach that links people, ideas, data and solutions in one environment.
That is why these awards matter beyond the trophies themselves. They validate Central Innovation’s position in the market at a time when our brand is evolving from being seen as simply a software reseller to being recognised for what we aim to be: a business outcomes partner.
Our role is to help customers make better decisions, deploy the right technology with confidence, and get lasting value from the solutions they invest in.
These AP South CRE Partner Awards are a strong endorsement of that direction. They reflect the trust customers place in Central Innovation, the quality of our people, and the strength of our partnership with Dassault Systèmes and SOLIDWORKS.
Most importantly, they reinforce the standard we hold ourselves to in market: expert advice, local accountability, and a genuine commitment to customer success.
