Thanks Chris and Andrew. I think that you have been doing some interesting work to look at connections between twins in different sectors/areas (or twins that connect across these sectors). Are there any specific thoughts on what might help networks of cross-sector twins?

Hello Nicholas. As I mentioned – finding that common purpose. As Olivier mentioned in his excellent presentation, the greatest value is likely to be from cross sector connections but these will be the most difficult to engineer and will require some imagination as to how the costs and benefits are shared. I can see that in time new business models will emerge to enable this, and digital twins will themselves be an useful tool in designing, testing and operating those new business models.
