Tender for Author - Digital Twin Report
The report will be structured into four main sections, covering various aspects of the topic, and will culminate in a macroeconomic forecast and implications analysis. The engagement plan includes podcast episodes, campaigns, and strategic partnerships to ensure a wide-reaching impact.
Background
In 2021, techUK published a landmark report: ‘Unlocking Value Across the UK’s Digital Twin Ecosystem. outlines how digital twins can be adopted effectively, and why the accelerated adoption of digital twins is essential for the future success of our people, economy, society, and planet.
Recognising the need for a broader programme of investment (focused on research, skills development, and core engineering capabilities), techUK puts forward the following recommendations aimed at providing a strong, sustainable foundation for digital twin adoption and diffusion across the UK:
- Develop a cross-cutting, interdisciplinary coordinating body to drive forward digital twin adoption and diffusion in the UK
- Demonstrate value from (and explore barriers to) the adoption and diffusion of digital twins via a series of strategic demonstrators
- Trigger the adoption of digital twins across the UK by exploring the development of an online digital twin procurement portal
- Work with industry to identify talent pipeline requirements and anticipate levels of future demand for skills across the UK’s digital twin ecosystem
- Fund a net zero 2050 digital twin demonstrator to establish the UK as a global leader in leveraging digital twins for decarbonisation
Our previous report was focused on the technical aspects of application of digital twins. With this framework we will identify the market growth potential.
