Data and digital technologies are transforming how we design, manage, and operate transport systems, the built environment, and local economies. Yet, most datasets remain underutilised, and the potential for innovation is vast.
We help stakeholders better leverage the opportunities of data and digital to drive smarter decisions, enhance integration, and create sustainable, resilient, and prosperous communities.

Our focus areas
We work across sectors to bridge the gap between data potential and real-world impact.
By supporting the application and accelerated adoption of digital technologies, including digital twins, AI, and quantum, we are working towards a more agile society.
Connected Testbeds is a concept being developed to link the UK’s real-world infrastructure testing environments into a coordinated national network, helping innovation move more easily from pilot to deployment.
The Climate Resilience Demonstrator (CReDo) is a pioneering digital twin platform for climate change adaptation that improves system-wide resilience across infrastructure networks.
The National Cyber-Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) is a pioneering collaboration between government and industry, designed to accelerate cyber-physical system innovation in the UK. We aim to break down silos, enhance interoperability, and drive progress on national challenges like net zero. National Cyber-Physical Infrastructure ecosystem – Digital Twin Hub
Digital twins and interoperable, connected digital twins are significant tools for fighting the global, systemic challenges currently facing the world. Challenges like pandemics, climate change and resilience. They are key enablers for ensuring better outcomes for people and nature through a collaborative and coordinated approach to problem-solving.
