March 2025 Golden, CO: Anark continued it's series of in-person events joining customers and partners with our sponsorship of the 3D Collaboration and Interoperability Congress (3DCIC).
This year's theme, Digitized or Digitally-Connected Enterprise? Bridging the Gap, aligned perfectly with the challenges Anark is tackling alongside partners like our German reseller and implementation partner, :em engineering methods AG (:em), with whom we are closing collaboration gaps and drive digital connectivity.
Dr. Sven Kleiner, Co-Founder and COO of :em, highlighted the cooperation between our companies to integrate the industry expertise of the Digital Data Package (DDP) project group with Anark’s offerings. Through this partnership, we aim to unlock unprecedented value across domains and organizations—from MBSE and MBD to Supply Chain and Digital Twins—by combining the standards, industry knowledge, and implementation expertise of :em with the power of the Anark Product Innovation Platform.

Anark continued to challenge attendees with the question: "The Digital Thread Racetrack: Where’s the On-Ramp?" We've all seen it—the sleek digital thread diagrams that resemble a perfectly closed-loop racetrack, seamlessly connecting systems and machines. But there’s a catch: for the average user navigating everyday collaboration tools like Email, Teams, Slack, and SharePoint, there’s no clear on-ramp to join the race. This is the gap Anark is addressing!
No event is complete without the opportunity to connect with the people that drive this community. We celebrated with CAD, Cocktails, and Karaoke - an unforgettable evening organized by fellow 3DCIC sponsors.
