Events

Marion Technical Writer September 2, 2026

Hexaly is excited to sponsor NORM 2026, the Nordic Operations Research Meeting organized in collaboration by the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish Operations Research Societies. Taking place from October 19 to 21, 2026, at Westmanska Palatset, Stockholm, Sweden, the event will bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to share ideas, showcase innovations, and discuss the latest developments in Operations Research

Come visit the Hexaly booth at NORM 2026 and meet our team throughout the conference. We will be happy to connect if you have questions, want to learn more about our next-generation optimization technology, or are curious about the latest features introduced in Hexaly 15.0. This release delivers major performance improvements in routing, scheduling, and packing, as well as significant advances in nonlinear optimization.

NORM 2026 is also a great opportunity to:

• Discuss real-world optimization challenges
• Exchange ideas with leading researchers and industry professionals from across the Nordic Operations Research community
• Discover how leading companies use Hexaly to solve complex optimization problems
• Explore career opportunities within our team in an informal setting

Hexaly Talk at NORM 2026

Below is the abstract of Hexaly’s talk at NORM 2026.

Hexaly, The next-generation MIP solver
Léa Petit-Jean Genat, Optimization Scientist, Hexaly
Session details to be announced

Hexaly Optimizer is the next-generation MIP solver. Its modeling interface is nonlinear and set-oriented. In a sense, Hexaly APIs unify and extend modeling concepts from mixed-linear programming, nonlinear programming, constraint programming, and black-box optimization.

Under the hood, Hexaly combines exact and heuristic optimization methods, such as branch-and-bound, automatic Dantzig-Wolfe reformulation, column and row generation, propagation, local search, direct search, and surrogate modeling techniques. Regarding performance benchmarks, Hexaly distinguishes itself from leading solvers such as Gurobi, IBM Cplex, and Google OR Tools by delivering scalable solutions for Routing, Scheduling, Packing, Clustering, and Location problems.

This talk introduces our set-based modeling formalism and highlights its scalability for large instances, while explaining how the solver automatically leverages state-of-the-art exact and heuristic techniques.
