Roundtable addresses barriers to digital twins

The government's cyber-physical infrastructure consultation agenda is to pool industry sector ideas to address common challenges. 

A joint activity with BEIS and Innovate UK, the roundtable formed part of the government's cyber-physical infrastructure consultation. As its base, it used earlier research carried out over a three-month period to identify and prioritise digital twin blockers.

Challenge questions
How can a cyber-physical infrastructure emerge from connections between the physical and digital world using digital twins? What are the socio-technical challenges in developing an ecosystem of connected digital twins?

Discussion perspectives
Participants examined scenarios across manufacturing, energy, multi-modal transport and aviation industries, feeding back from the room and online.

The event involved over 70 industry representatives and ran simultaneously online and in person at Connected Places Catapult, London on 24.5.22.
