[WEBINAR] Urban Digital Twins in Korea Experiences by Gaia3D
2025-03-12 11:15 - 12:00 | room 21.s.2, piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, Milano, Italy
12 March, 2025, 11:15 – 12:00 CET

Politecnico di Milano – room 21.S.2 and https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/meet/maria.brovelli

A digital twin is a virtual replica of real-world models, processes, and phenomena. Digital twins are mainly used in manufacturing, health care, and urban management. In this talk, the speaker will share his company’s experiences in implementing urban digital twins in Korea. Digital twins are a prominent topic in Korea, with significant investment from the Korean government in the development and implementation of digital twin systems. He will present several real-world examples of digital twins, focusing on the technological aspects. Also, he will discuss the challenges and limitations of digital twins.

Speaker: Mr. Sanghee Shin – Gaia 3D
