Fast Company announced its second annual Best Workplaces
for Innovators list, honoring businesses and organizations that
demonstrate a deep commitment to encouraging innovation at all
levels. Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) was named to the list for adding
Accelerated Doppler processing to Ansys®

of complex radar scenarios related to autonomous vehicles and other
near-field radar systems by 100X. The award also noted Ansys'
innovative work culture, close collaborations with industry and
academia and focus on R&D spending — totaling more than
$1 billion over the last decade,
which has led to multiple patents.
Developed in collaboration with Accenture, the 2020 Best
Workplaces for Innovators ranks 100 winners from a variety of
industries, including computer science, biotech, consumer packaged
goods, nonprofit, education, financial services, cybersecurity and
engineering. Working together, Fast Company editors and
Accenture researchers scored nearly 900 applications and a panel of
eight eminent judges reviewed and endorsed the top 100 companies —
an increase from last year's list of 50. The 2020 awards feature
workplaces from around the world with several of the honorees based
outside the U.S.
"With more than 4400 employees worldwide, Ansys leverages a

For the past 50 years, Ansys' culture of innovation continues to

university partnerships. Ansys also focuses on strategic
acquisitions to enhance its product portfolio, grow its talent pool
and expand its ecosystem. In 2019, the company acquired five
pioneering technology leaders, delivering a combination of advanced
tools, unique skillsets and valuable customer relationships.
Ansys also drives powerful initiatives to accelerate
