AIRTO member Digital Catapult has announced the launch of the Digital Twin Adoption Accelerator to accelerate the practical application of digital twin technologies across the UK’s aerospace, maritime, and defence sectors, enabling deep tech startups to scale and equipping the UK to be future ready.
Nine carefully selected pairs of SMEs have joined the programme with three Northern Ireland based partnerships representing the region’s growing digital twin capabilities. Each partnership is made up of a technology vendor and technology adopter from across the UK, with each pair set to develop a solution that will solve industrial challenges including optimising energy efficiency and predictive maintenance, enhancing logistics, advancing aerospace design, and safeguarding marine environments.
The startups will receive support from Digital Catapult during the programme including technological and innovation consultancy, access to the UK Digital Twin Centre in Belfast, and opportunities to trial and validate solutions in a real-world environment with industry leaders.
