The MBSE Summit 2025 in Traunkirchen will be held for the fourth time this year on 2 and 3 June. We expect the event to sell out quickly again this year. The ‘insider tip’ of the MBSE community is deliberately kept completely free of advertising and combines keynotes and working groups on current topics.

This year you can look forward to keynotes from:

• Tobias Franz – DLR – German Aerospace Centre, Business Development | Modelling and Simulation: Advancing Multidisciplinary Space System Design: From Tool-Centric to Data-Driven Approaches
• Sandy Friedenthal – SAF Consulting, Co-Chair of the OMG Systems Modelling Community (SMC): Advancing an MBSE Method with SysML v2
• Robert Karban – CTO Planetary Utilities Corporation: Integrated Systems Design for the Industrial Space Age
• Annika Meijer-Henriksson – Saab, Head of Design Gripen / Technical Manager Gripen:
  Complex development of military aircraft: Experiences and the value of MBSE
• Chantal Sinnwell – Siemens Digital Industries Software, Head of Cross-Portfolio Solutions & Systems Engineering Domain Lead DACH: Untying the Gordian Knot: How to implement MBSE successfully

Of course, there will also be some working groups in 2025, the results of which will be summarised and published to serve as a basis for further work in MBSE practice.

So book your place at the MBSE Summit 2025 now and become part of the ever-growing community.

MBSE Summit 2024 Report

Model-based system engineering (MBSE) is becoming increasingly important, especially due to the growing use of software in all technological areas. For example, the European Space Agency (ESA) writes in its Agenda 2025: “Revolutionising the traditional, document-driven approach to system development is key to ESA’s technology strategy and Agenda 2025.” It aims to reduce the development time for spacecraft by 30% and improve cost efficiency by an order of magnitude with each generation. “However, achieving these ambitious goals requires not only technological improvements, but also a change in the spacecraft development process and in the way engineers think. This can be achieved with MBSE.”

With this in mind, it is only logical that the 3rd MBSE Summit at Lake Traunsee was fully booked for the first time with over 90 participants and will of course be continued in 2025 (2 – 3 June 2025). The MBSE community meeting of industry and science once again started with keynotes on SysMLv2, “The beauty of MBSE”, engineering for long-life systems and a look at the transport sector. This was followed by intensive discussions in small groups on various MBSE focal points. It became clear that MBSE is still very much on the move and that events like the one in Traunkirchen between users and science are essential for further progress.
