European local digital twins
Connected digital twins for sustainable cities, towns and neighbourhoods
twinlink.eu is a non-profit foundation connecting cities, regions, knowledge partners and solution providers for local digital twins, shared data and artificial intelligence.
Who is twinlink.eu for?
twinlink.eu supports organizations that develop, connect, reuse and scale local digital twins within a European ecosystem.
Cities & regions
For local governments that use digital twins to make better decisions about space, climate, mobility, energy and liveability.
National coordinators
For ministries and programmes that want to align, scale and connect initiatives with national and European ecosystems.
Knowledge institutions
For research institutions and consortia that want to share methods, models, standards and expertise.
Solution providers
For organizations that want to contribute interoperable tools, data, models and services to open digital twin solutions.
Connecting local digital twins
twinlink.eu helps local initiatives connect with reusable building blocks, trusted knowledge and European standards.
Open standards
No vendor lock-in. Open standards and reusable building blocks support interoperability, scalability and long-term value.
National LDT App Store
A trusted catalogue that helps cities and regions find, compare and reuse digital twin tools, building blocks and frameworks.
EU LDT Toolbox
A modular European toolkit for standardized, interoperable and scalable local digital twin solutions.
From data to insight
From data to better decisions
Digital twins make it possible to bring data, maps and models together. This helps public organizations plan smarter, collaborate faster and respond better to complex societal challenges.
Stronger together
Connect people, knowledge and data across local, national and European initiatives.
Better outcomes
Support policy around climate, mobility, energy, housing and liveability.
Reusable building blocks
Avoid duplicate work by making tools, models and standards easier to find.
Scalable impact
Make local solutions easier to transfer to other cities, regions and programmes.
