A Letter From Our CEO
In our continued commitment to drive innovation forward, 2022 proved to be a successful and eventful year at Altair that included devoting substantial development resources to growth and expansion, including our data analytics and digital twin solutions, as well as the ongoing investment in our global workforce. As pioneers who empower our customers with innovative technologies and solutions, we continually look to the future to enable their sustainable initiatives.
Over the past several years, we have invested more than half a billion dollars into our data analytics solutions, including most recently, our 2022 acquisition of RapidMiner. We’ve integrated our data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, evolved our sales and technical teams to deliver world-class implementation and support, and made our data science software available via Altair Units. The Altair RapidMiner platform delivers Frictionless AI resulting in quick, repeatable, and successful data analytics programs and helps organizations accelerate their access to insights and improve the efficiency in how they design new products.
Altair’s digital twin solution is highly differentiated, leveraging the convergence of simulation, high-performance computing (HPC), and AI. Our digital twin technology delivers transformational power for organizations to develop better, more sustainable processes and products, and allows customers to anticipate problems with solutions, choose more sustainable approaches, reduce waste and carbon emissions, and improve useful life and reusability.
We continued to prioritize enhancing our world-class culture and investing toward a better society to support diversity and sustainability. This commitment to our workforce earned us another top-50 spot on Newsweek’s Most Loved Workplaces list, by fostering a working environment where everyone is supported, validated, accepted for who they are and valued for their contributions, dedication, and creativity.
These achievements and more are why I believe Altair is poised to succeed. Our human-driven approach and steadfast commitment to our values will guide us to make the world a better place.

| Sustainability Goal | Reduced Material Usage | Renewable Materials and Energy | Electrification and Advanced Communications | Waste Stream Reduction | Reduced Fuel Consumption |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| International Energy Agency (IEA) Target | Pursuing material efficiency strategies to their practical limit in the material efficiency variant reduces steel use by an additional 15% and cement use by another 17% in 2060. | Carbon emissions net zero by 2050. | Almost 30% of the 170 Gt CO2 cumulative emissions reductions from the use of low-emissions electricity in the NZE comes from technologies that are currently at prototype or demonstration stage, such as electricity-based primary steel production or electric trucks. | The goal aims to substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse. | A general rule is that a 6-7% reduction in specific fuel consumption can be achieved for each 10% reduction in vehicle kerb weight. |
