Digital Twin Discovery Webinar Series

Date: 31 July 2025 13:00 - 14:00

Event overview

Join us for the Digital Twin Discovery Series — a monthly webinar exploring the enabling technologies, use cases, and business impact of digital twins across industry.

A digital twin is a dynamic virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or system that continuously exchanges data with its real-world counterpart — whether that’s a plane, a factory floor, or an entire supply chain. Each session will spotlight experts who’ll share insights, sector-specific use cases, and the opportunities digital twins create for both adopters and technology providers.

Whether you’re building, adopting, or scaling digital twin solutions, this series gives you a front-row seat to the innovations shaping the future of aerospace, maritime, defence, and beyond.
