Today, we’re taking a short break from our new episodes and revisiting an old favourite. Back in May of 2023 we sat down with a fantastic panel of experts to discuss the concept of Digital Twins.

A Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a real-world physical counterpart, they use sophisticated data models to accurately simulate changes and problems, using the virtual environment to test and monitor potential scenarios without ever altering the physical counterpart - but the system is reliant on data and can only be as good as the data it is provided with. One potential source of information is Earth Observation data collected from space.

Our host Dallas Campbell is joined in the studio by Mark Hennen from the Satellite Applications Catapult and Simon Evans from Arup, and remotely by Peter Bauer from ECMRWF.

We hope you enjoy catching up on this fantastic discussion and we’ll see you in two weeks with a brand new episode.
