Digital Twin Open Forum

Join us for an hour of open discussions on the benefits and challenges of Digital Twins through real-life use cases.
The term ‘Digital Twin’ is a hot topic currently, but there are many interpretations of what the term means.
This event seeks to share our understanding of the Digital Twin terminology with a wide sector audience trying to answer questions such as: What is a Digital Twin? How does it differ from what has been done in the past in Modelling & Simulation and Embedded Technologies? What are the valuable use cases for a Digital Twin and what characteristics does a Digital Twin need to have to make it useful for these use cases?
