EnginSoft CEO strengths connections with the US market
EnginSoft is continuously strengthening its connections and network in the US market. Stefano Odorizzi visited the United States in the last week of October to view and develop EnginSoft's local initiatives further. He met and interacted with several existing clients, and thus gained insights into how EnginSoft's services have benefited their business models.
During his visit, Stefano wanted to discuss with US customers their visions for future product development, their concerns and existing alternatives to develop efficient working methodologies between clients and the EnginSoft teams. He managed to share EnginSoft's philosophy and business model with all the people he met during his short visit, and stated, "I am pleased to report that our initiatives in California are moving forward and that there has been an incredible amount of interest and enthusiasm shown by the local market. I had the pleasure of reviewing our operations and meeting with our management staff to discuss the next phases of our operations”.
During this trip, Stefano met with some of the leading experts in the areas of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Design Optimization. Stefano emphasized the positive results which could be achieved to date in the American market despite the tough economic situation. He visited some of the world's top academic institutions, namely University of California at Berkeley, University of Stanford, and the University of Santa Clara. These relations will support the company to further develop its future technologies and strategies. Stefano's visit was very successful and is a milestone inEnginSoft's road map. The outcomes will be incorporated in the company’s partners' network and business sectors.

EnginSoft at UC Berkeley - Prof. Stefano Odorizzi meets with Prof. Alberto Sangiovanni Vincentelli


During his visit at the University of California at Berkeley, the EnginSoft CEO met with Professor Alberto Sangiovanni Vincentelli, a worldwide renowned expert and cofounder of Cadence and Synopsys.
The talk was a starting point for interaction and exchange of CAE, EDA, and VP knowledge, development and application results. The two experts shared their visions for the future of engineering simulation in industry with a very positive outlook for the upcoming years. With its highly innovative engineering and technology organization and network, EnginSoft wants to become an important player in the Global Computer Aided Engineering market fueling its growth also through close collaborations with top academic institutions.

Prof. Alberto Sangiovanni Vincentelli holds the Edgar L. and Harold H. Buttner Chair of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley. Moreover, he is a co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. He is the Chief Technology Adviser of Cadence, and a member of the Board of Directors of Cadence and the Chair of its Technology Committee, UPEK.

The University of California at Berkeley and its flagship campus were founded in 1868.
Berkeley ranks first nationally in the number of graduate programs in their espective fields. Among its active faculty are 7 Nobel Laureates, 28 MacArthur Fellows, and 4 Pulitzer Prize winners. Today it is the world's premier public university and a wellspring of innovation.

EnginSoft special guest at the Business Association Italy America - BAIA
In this successful networking event organized by BAIA, Prof. Stefano Odorizzi presented and discussed the capabilities of leading edge technologies used to provide improved engineering designs across various innovative applications.

Stefano shared the key factors that have led to his success as an Italian entrepreneur building a US and Global business, as well as the crucial role played by global partnerships with both companies and universities. This talk turned out to be a great opportunity to mix and mingle with young and seasoned professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and all the extended BAIA community, while enjoying Italian wine and delicious appetizers.
Stefano participated in an animated and dynamic roundtable discussion with students of the Fulbright BEST group pursuing the Certificate of the Technology Entrepreneurship program offered by the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CIE) of Santa Clara.

BAIA is an independent, nonprofit, open, apolitical business network that offers a place (physical and virtual) to facilitate the open exchange of knowledge and information, business opportunities, relationships and to promote a culture of innovation through entrepreneurial spirit and principles for Entrepreneurs, managers, professionals and interested individuals in the United States and in Italy.

EnginSoft at Stanford - Several Points in Common
Stefano also met with Prof. Gianluca Iaccarino of Stanford University. The meeting turned out to be a pleasant talk between two people who share an enthusiasm for innovation and excellence. EnginSoft and Stanford both act as laboratories for technology transfer to industry. They strongly invest in the next generation of engineering and technology experts, to foster their growth and dynamism, a perfect combination for a future collaboration. The obvious synergy between Stanford and EnginSoft will provide our customers with even more innovative solutions to meet industrial challenges, such as increasing quality and reducing project times.
EnginSoft provide access to a range of services related to the calculation and optimization of thermo-fluids, unmatched to date by any other European or American CAE company.



Prof. Iaccarino and Prof. Odorizzi discovered that they have a lot of interests and business objectives in common. A part from the high technological content of their meeting and talks, both are aware that great networking opportunities are indispensable to realize innovative visions.

Stefano Odorizzi also met with Stanford Professor Bernard Widrow. In fact, the first statement of Professor Widrow was: “Optimization is everywhere," certainly a great start for a sparkling conversation! The two gurus exchanged ideas about the use of optimization techniques applied to human-like memory computers while enjoying tea. Prof. Widrow underlined its outstanding ability and talent for describing his most complex research at Stanford with simple words.
Silicon Valley represents a unique blend of knowledge, advanced research, remarkable
capital investments, and expertise. All this makes Silicon Valley an ideal and unique place to do business.

Prof. Gianluca Iaccarino is an Assistant Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Institute for Computational Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University with many years of experience in fluid dynamics, physical modeling and advanced computer simulations.

Prof. Bernard Widrow's research at Stanford focuses on adaptive signal processing, adaptive control systems, adaptive neural networks, human memory, and human-like memory for computers. He is the coinventor of the Widrow-Hoff Least mean squares filter (LMS) adaptive algorithm with the doctoral student Ted Hoff. The LMS algorithm led to the ADALINE and MADALINE artificial neural networks and to the back propagation technique. He has more than 21 patents under his name.

Stanford University is located between San Francisco and San Jose, in the heart of Silicon Valley, it is world-known for its multidisciplinary research within its schools and departments, as well as its independent laboratories, centers and institutes. There are currently more than 4,500 externally sponsored projects throughout the university, with a total budget for sponsored projects of $1.060 billion during 2008-09, including the SLAC National Linear Laboratory (SLAC).
