LAS VEGAS, NV (CES 2026), Jan 29, 2026 – Neural Concept has launched AI Design Copilot, combining spatial reasoning, physics awareness, and CAD-ready geometry generation at enterprise scale. The capability places engineering intelligence at the center of the design workflow, starting from early design intent. The launch follows company growth supported by a $100 million Series C funding round led by Goldman Sachs.
Neural Concept has launched AI Design Copilot as a new capability within its platform. The tool supports design and simulation workflows, with broader access planned later in Q1’2026. Product development spans multiple physics and engineering domains, expanding the range of design options teams must evaluate. Neural Concept positions AI Design Copilot to help engineers explore design spaces and compare alternatives across multi-physics systems. The company targets applications in automotive, aerospace, semiconductors, consumer electronics, energy and industrial sectors.
“Our AI Design Copilot closes the loop from concept to decision, enabling engineers to explore, test and refine designs at a scale that simply wasn’t possible before,” said Dr. Pierre Baqué, CEO and founder of Neural Concept. “What we’re seeing across our customers is a fundamental change in how teams work: evaluating more design scenarios in parallel, uncovering optimizations earlier, and moving faster from concept to validation. This is Engineering AI emerging as the next great industrial shift that will empower engineers to focus on the hardest problems and deliver more efficient, safer, higher-performing products that will transform the world for the better.”
Neural Concept’s platform offers capabilities that include:
- Instant generation of CAD-ready geometry from high-level design ideas: The AI Design Copilot turns engineering intent into manufacturing-ready models, reducing manual modeling time and enabling faster configuration of design spaces.
- Exploration of 10 to 1,000 times more design variants per iteration: Engineers can explore expanded design spaces, evaluate options and optimize designs faster.
- Integration with multi-physics simulations: The AI copilot extends the Neural Concept Platform into early design, covering thermal management, fluid dynamics, crash and electromagnetics while reducing manual work by up to 90%
Neural Concept integrates its AI Design Copilot with NVIDIA Omniverse to support design visualization and evaluation within industrial engineering workflows. The company reports enterprise revenue has quadrupled over the past 18 months and serves more than 50 global customers, including Subaru, General Motors, General Electric, Leonardo Aerospace, and four Formula 1 teams. Neural Concept continues to develop AI-driven design workflows as it expands its Engineering Intelligence platform.
