Aspen Technology formed from the Advanced System for Process Engineering (ASPEN) Project — joint research between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and U.S. Department of Energy.

The team explored technical innovations in response to the 1970`s energy crisis, developing the chemical industry’s first computer-based modeling and simulation technology.

The innovations developed in those initial days had a transformative impact, providing the foundation for decades of industrial optimization advancements.

Meeting the demands of a growing population without compromising tomorrow requires a delicate balance of performance, resiliency and sustainability.

Industrial AI and digitalization are enabling companies to gain the insights, agility and flexibility needed to thrive in this environment.
