Autodesk has a history of investing in and partnering with companies that are at the forefront of innovation in the design and engineering space. They have partnered with hundreds of companies over the course of their 30+ years. All the more, these valuable partnerships continue to contribute to how Autodesk innovates today.
In 2016, the Forge Fund was created to help companies that were specifically innovating with the cloud and Forge Platform APIs. The Fund also has helped to create a dynamic and evolving ecosystem of cloud-centric partnerships spanning robotics, drones, industrialized construction, AI, and more.
All the companies that the Fund has partnered with have been able to fast track their innovations and keep pushing boundaries in their respective spaces. We wanted to take a moment to highlight these impressive partners in our growing innovation network.
