#31 Creating a National Digital Twin


Listen Later

Back in December 2017 the UK’s National Infrastructure

Commission set the UK a huge challenge: to create a digital model of our
national infrastructure. Known as a National Digital Twin this engineering feat
requires secure sharing of high-quality standardised data between
infrastructure owners and operators, making operations more efficient and
resilient. A new task force was set up to lead this massive digitisation programme
and in this episode its chair Mark Enzer sets out the plan for creating this amazing
interconnected system of systems and explains how it will boost infrastructure
performance, reduce risk and improve lives.

Recorded at the Bentley Twin Talks in London
