The Built Environment is facing unprecedented challenges due to urbanisation, climate change, and resource scarcity. To address these challenges, stakeholders need to innovate and optimise their assets, processes, and systems continuously. Digital Twins have emerged as a powerful tool to enable innovation, but creating and maintaining them requires significant resources, skills, and expertise. In this talk, we will explore how a Digital Twin Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) can accelerate innovation in the Built Environment by lowering the barrier to access Digital Twin technology. Learning Points: 1. Understand the concept of a Digital Twin Platform-as-a-Service and it how lowers the barrier for you to participate in the Digital Twin economy. 2. Learn about the benefits of creating Digital Twin solution on a Platform-as-a-Service, including lower costs, faster deployment and high degree of flexibility. 3. Establish what it takes in terms of software skills for you to build solutions 4. Explore examples of Digital Twin solutions built on a PaaS. By the end of this talk, participants will have a clear understanding of how a Digital Twin PaaS can accelerate innovation in the Built Environment by democratising access to Digital Twin technology and enabling collaboration across stakeholders. They will also be equipped with practical examples and case studies to inspire them to explore the use of Digital Twins on a Platform-as-a-Service in their own organisations.
