WGIC Side Event & Networking Reception at the 12th Session of UN-GGIM

Background

The next in a series of WGIC’s (World Geospatial Industry Council) Policy Reports is one on Spatial Digital Twins. This Side Event will present findings of a global analysis of spatial digital twins that includes case studies, best practices and recommendations to both governments and industry. Digital twins are moving from the factory to the streets, and yet are still susceptible to the trough of disillusionment for any emerging technology. Of particular interest to UN-GGIM, is the role that spatial digital twins can play in helping realize IGIF — integrated geospatial information framework, regardless of spatial scale.

Objectives
* Opportunities for Spatial Digital Twins;
* Present the findings on Spatial Digital Twins;
* Current trends, use-cases and industry maturity;
* Role of Spatial Digital Twins at country-level for realization of the UN-GGIM IGIF.
