Businesses and organisations in Omagh and across Northern Ireland can now join a new UK-wide online community designed to support the growth of digital twin technology.
The UK Digital Twin Community brings together businesses, technology providers, academics and organisations that are using, developing or exploring digital twin solutions.
For Omagh businesses, this is an opportunity to connect with others working in this fast-growing area, learn from experts, find potential partners and explore how digital twin technology could support innovation, efficiency and growth.
Digital twins are virtual models of real-world systems, processes, buildings, products or services. They can help organisations test ideas, improve decision-making, reduce costs and plan more effectively.
This could be useful across a wide range of sectors in the Omagh area, including manufacturing, engineering, construction, agri-tech, energy, transport, public services, education and digital innovation.
The new secure online network is run by the UK Digital Twin Centre and gives members a place to:
- Share knowledge and expertise
- Connect with other digital twin innovators
- Find partners for projects
- Ask questions and join discussions
- Learn more about digital twin technologies
- Access events and networking opportunities
Members can also take part in a Digital Twin 101 course, designed to introduce the basics of digital twin technology and help organisations understand how it could apply to their work.
The community is open to businesses and organisations already using digital twins, companies that provide digital twin technology, academics, experts and thought leaders in the field.
For local businesses in Omagh, joining the community could help open doors to new ideas, collaborations and opportunities across the UK. It may also support businesses that are currently developing digital projects on their own and would benefit from wider expertise and connections.
To join, users need to create a personal profile, create a business profile to showcase their organisation, join the launch networking circles and begin connecting with other members.
The UK Digital Twin Centre is delivered by Digital Catapult and funded by Belfast Region City Deal, Innovate UK and co-investment from Artemis Technologies, Short Brothers and Thales UK.
