#31 Creating a National Digital Twin

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.
