Like the sides of a hexagon, our team is continuously moving in many directions with one fundamental goal: to empower our customers – operating in more than 27 industries – with the freedom to deliver a sustainable, autonomous future.
As businesses and professionals keep innovating around the world, there are so many exciting stories happening in each of Hexagon’s ecosystems.
Here are six of the latest stories to unpack from the past two weeks:
1. Delivering agility and innovation to digital engineering & manufacturing.
The future of manufacturing begins this month with the power of Nexus. Manufacturers will be able to connect people, technologies and data like never before with Hexagon’s new open platform. An official virtual launch is scheduled for 23 February. Register to attend here.
2. Partnering with Fujitsu to build digital twins of complex cities.
Dive into an insightful conversation between Cathy McCann, Vice President, Head of Trusted Society from Fujitsu, and Dr. Uwe Jasnoch, Director of Government and Transporation from Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division.

3. Developing mobile applications for dismounted soldiers in the field.
Mobile developers in the defence ecosystem can now build with desktop, in-vehicle and browser application capabilities for Android platforms. Developers will use LuciadCPillar to create mobile apps for dismounted soldiers in the field, allowing 2D/3D views, military symbology and support for many geospatial data types. Learn more about the LuciadCPillar platform.
4. Advancing manufacturing technology through start-up innovation.
Awarding Hexagon’s support for manufacturing industry start-ups, GelSight wins the coveted Sixth Sense open innovation cohort competition. The company’s high-resolution elastomeric tactile sensor technology conforms ‘like human skin’ to the shape of an object on contact, capturing the topography of any material’s surface with greater accuracy than typical manual practices today. As an open innovation platform, Sixth Sense nurtures start-ups creating solutions to support the growing demand for disruptive innovation in manufacturing.
