Most of the infrastructure we need already exists. But how can we use it better and how do we plan for investments in maintenance? 🛣 The answer: a national digital twin that can enable a better understanding of the "system of systems" so that we can intervene more effectively. 💡 Last week, I had the opportunity to facilitate a panel discussion on the benefits and steps we should be taking as an industry to make a national digital twin (NDT) a reality. The discussion was part of NZTech's Techweek NZ, and we heard some great insights from our panellists Mark Enzer, Jonny Breen, Christian Gamst and Asem Zabin. I’ve summarised a few of their points below 👇 Reach out if you’d like to be continue being part of this discussion. #TechWeek24 #NationaDigitalTwin #DigitalTwin
