The CDBB has established the Digital Twin Hub (DT Hub), a collaborative web-enabled community for those who own, or who are developing, digital twins within the built environment.
The DT Hub gives members a safe space where they can learn from, and share with, others who are on the same journey. Members are able to participate in events that will not only develop their own capabilities, but also advance the state of the art in digital twins.
The DT Hub is steered by a group of experts from the academia, government and industry and it is chaired by Sam Chorlton.
The DT Hub is now live - please visit it here: https://digitaltwinhub.co.uk/
DT Hub - Digital Twin Talks video series
The DT Hub is pleased to present its second series of Digital Twin Talks! Join us on the 7th July for the first video in a eight part series exploring the interconnection of digital twins and the benefits that can be delivered. The series provides an opportunity to bring together a number of views from across the industry.
The series will conclude with a digital round table webinar where participants will have a chance to input and discuss with the presenter panel how current thinking is being realised in their own organisations.

The key objectives of the DT Hub are:
|
To provide a focus for learning and sharing experiences on digital twins
|
| To drive innovation, develop expertise and advance the “state of the art” for digital twins in the built environment |
| To identify good practice, develop guidance and (potentially) produce standards on data sharing and digital twins |
| To showcase the benefits of digital twins; creating use cases and case studies that will provide evidence for developing business cases |
| To create a support network for seeking partners and finding support in addressing challenges |
| To provide a register of work on digital twins within the built environment; showing who is doing what where; identifying the leading digital twins, pilots and demonstrators |
| To identify gaps that need to be addressed in moving towards a National Digital Twin and to define the additional work/pilots that will address them |
| To promote the adoption of the Information Management Framework and to create the basis of the National Digital Twin |
More information, including a number of Digital Twin projects currently running across the UK, will soon be updated here.

The Gemini Principles, published by the CDBB, set out the proposed principles to guide the development of the National Digital Twin and the Information Management Framework that will enable it. The CDBB has also published the Roadmap, which outlines the plan for its delivery.
