As 2025 comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to pause and look back at everything this year has brought to AnyLogic. It has been a year full of steady growth, deeper collaboration with partners, and continued innovation across products, content, and events.
From new software releases and industry recognition to dozens of educational activities around the world, 2025 clearly showed how simulation continues to gain momentum as a practical decision-making tool for businesses and researchers alike.
Let’s revisit the highlights of the year.

AnyLogic and AnyLogic Cloud releases
In 2025, we delivered four AnyLogic releases (8.9.4–8.9.7) and eight AnyLogic Cloud releases (2.5.3–2.6.0). Throughout the year, our focus remained on stability, usability, and expanding the capabilities that help you build, analyze, and share simulation models more effectively.
Each release brought practical improvements that made everyday work with complex models smoother and more predictable. These updates were guided by user feedback from manufacturing, logistics, transportation, healthcare, and other industries.

To help you quickly understand what’s new, we supported release blog posts with short release videos. These videos give clear overviews of the main updates and are available on the AnyLogic YouTube channel.
On the Cloud side, development moved faster. In 2025, we switched to monthly releases. From versions 2.5.3 to 2.6.1, we introduced improvements for model management, collaboration, and faster access to results. Shorter release cycles made it easier to deliver updates and fixes without delay.
Check out the blog posts with insights on AnyLogic Cloud 2.5.3 and 2.5.4–2.5.8.
Together, these updates strengthened the connection between desktop modeling and cloud-based experimentation, making it easier to move from idea to insight.
Proof of concept and educational content
Blog posts
In 2025, we published 24 blog posts, covering both foundational topics and advanced use cases of simulation modeling. Throughout the year, the blog focused on practical value, explaining how simulation can be applied to real business challenges, emerging technologies, and industry-specific problems.
Topics ranged from AI-driven simulation and digital twins to process optimization and system design. Also, we published several blog posts dedicated to AnyLogic features. At the beginning of 2025, we wrote about managing dates in AnyLogic, and later we covered the use of the chart creation wizard.
Whether readers were just starting with simulation or seeking to deepen their expertise, the blog remained a reliable source of insights and inspiration.
Case studies
We also published 17 new case studies this year, showing how simulation helps organizations tackle complex operational challenges across industries.
Among them, Intel’s warehousing model demonstrated how simulation can improve warehouse layouts, workflows, and resource utilization before changes are implemented. The STAM digital twin project illustrated how a metro system can be modeled together with crowd-management technology to analyze passenger flows and congestion. In heavy industry, Vale’s mine traffic management case showed how simulation supports infrastructure optimization by modeling vehicle movement and operational constraints at scale.
Together, these and the rest of the case studies highlight how AnyLogic is used as a practical decision-making tool in manufacturing, logistics, transportation, and infrastructure.
Webinars, trainings, our conference, and other events
Trainings
Education remained a key focus in 2025. Over the course of the year:
22 partner-led trainings were held worldwide.
5 online trainings helped participants build and strengthen modeling skills.
4 in-person trainings took place—two in Oakbrook Terrace, USA, and two in Lisbon, Portugal.
In addition, we delivered custom online training for Amazon, tailored to their specific business context and modeling needs. This focused, hands-on format allowed Amazon teams to deepen their simulation expertise and apply AnyLogic directly to real operational challenges.
We also hosted several AnyLogic-led webinars, including sessions on:
- AI and Simulation: What Executives Need to Know
- Steel Manufacturing: Slab Yard Simulation Model with BlueScope and SimWell
- Beyond the Basics: The Path to Mastery in AnyLogic
- Digital Twins of Digital Worlds: Agent-Based Modeling in Games and Beyond
These events brought together professionals from different regions and industries, creating opportunities to learn, exchange ideas, and see how others use simulation in practice.
AnyLogic Conference and community meetups
A major highlight of the year was the AnyLogic Conference, which once again became a focal point for sharing experience, product updates, and real-world applications of simulation and digital twins.
If you missed the event, we’ve collected all the highlights of the conference in our blog post, along with links to the recordings of the video presentations.
Beyond the conference, AnyLogic was present at several important industry events, including:
- IISE Tradeshow in Atlanta
- WinterSim 2025 in Seattle
These events allowed us to meet users and partners face-to-face, discuss emerging challenges, and see how simulation continues to evolve across regions and industries.
Industry recognition and key milestones
2025 was also marked by several important milestones for The AnyLogic company.
- AnyLogic was named among technology innovators in Gartner research focused on hyper-synthetic data for process simulation, highlighting the growing role of simulation in advanced analytics and decision support.
- We received ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, reinforcing our commitment to quality, security, and reliable processes as we continue to grow globally.
These achievements reflect not only product development but also the maturity of our internal processes and long-term vision.
Thank you—and looking ahead
As we wrap up 2025, we would like to thank everyone who has been part of this journey: our users, partners, clients, and team members around the world. Your feedback, questions, and real-world challenges continue to shape how AnyLogic evolves.
Simulation is no longer just a niche tool—it is an essential part of how organizations design systems, manage complexity, and prepare for the future. We’re excited to keep building tools, content, and experiences that help you turn ideas into confident decisions.
Thank you for being with us this year.
We look forward to everything 2026 will bring—and wish you a successful, inspiring year ahead.
Don’t let 2026 start on a boring note. Check out our upcoming events.
