Masterclass A: Digital twins for smart community development

Digital twins are a popular topic right now, but what are they really? How are they built and how can you leverage one today for smart community development?

This 1-day intensive masterclass will give those involved in smart cities, IT, planning, development and other areas involving digital innovation a solid grounding on this topic. No need for prior experience but there will be ample opportunity for you to share your experience and co-create with the class.

What to expect:

  • Learn about digital twins theory and technology by looking at international examples
  • Take a deep dive into an award-winning digital twin case study
  • Participate in a design thinking hackathon to develop your own digital twin
  • Leave with a practical appreciation for how to start a digital twin initiative in your organisation.
