DigiShape day Digitwins – from State of the Art to application

Are you curious about how Digital Twins can contribute to smarter asset management and climate adaptation? Register for the DigiShape day Digitwins: from State of the Art to application on Monday 23 June from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.!

This day, organised by DigiShape partners BZIM, Deltares and Van Oord, is entirely dedicated to digital twins. You will see inspiring examples and discover the latest developments: what is the State of the Art?

In the afternoon, we will work on practical cases and work together on concrete project proposals. After further elaboration, these may be eligible for a TKI subsidy. In short: from innovation to application!

Who is this DigiShape day for?

This day is especially for professionals who work with or are interested in Digital Twins and asset management, such as:

  • Asset owners, such as dike managers and water managers
  • Engineering firms and knowledge institutions that develop or apply digital twins
  • Measurement and monitoring companies that collect and process data
  • Innovation managers and department heads who want to leverage new technologies within their organization
  • Experts and participants in Digital Twins projects
