Frequently Asked Questions
The Digital Twin (DT) Hub is an online community for anyone interested in the development of digital twins.
The DT Hub is the place where the digital twin community meets to share knowledge, agree common approaches and inform future standards related to digital twins.
Its ultimate purpose is to enable the vision of the National Digital Twin - a connected ecosystem of digital twins that will progress our society, economy, and environment through collective innovation.
The DT Hub is also the window to the National Digital Twin Programme, where we share what we are doing, seek feedback and maintain alignment with the community.
Our aim is for the DT Hub to be the most comprehensive online resource for all things digital twin – a reflection of the opportunities ahead for our online community to contribute to, engage with and refine the range of resources.
The DT Hub has been formed to accelerate progress towards the creation of the National Digital Twin by bringing people together who work in or alongside that ecosystem. It serves to connect those that otherwise may have never been connected and who share the same interests, sense of purpose and vision.
