Join us for a transformative policy and industry dialogue exploring the future of Digital Twinning and its potential to reshape economies, societies, and governance. Based on techUK's Green Paper, this event brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia to chart a path for the UK to become the global hub for Digital Twin technology and governance.

Attendees will explore how the UK can harness interoperable, federated Digital Twins to drive smarter decision making, carbon reduction, improved public service delivery, and a new digital economy where data is both currency and commodity. Key discussions will cover the evolution of standards, the integration of AI and the Metaverse, national security and sovereignty of digital infrastructure, and the business models that will emerge from these innovations.

This paper is written in collaboration with University of Salford, WHP Telecoms, Fujitsu, and techUK's Digital Twin Group.

This event is kindly sponsored by Fujitsu.
