Register now for our webinar ‘Smart cities and digital twin technology: the case of Dublin’

Join us on 14 March to explore a real-world example from the city of Dublin

Mark your calendars for our upcoming webinar ‘Smart cities and digital twin technology: the case of Dublin’ on Friday, 14 December 2025, from 10:00 to 11:00 CET. Building on the success of our previous smart city webinar on Rotterdam, this second edition will highlight the innovative Smart Dublin project.

Smart cities use technology to enhance urban management and efficiency. By integrating digital solutions, they improve traditional networks and services, benefiting residents and businesses. Beyond better resource use and reduced emissions, smart cities feature advanced transport networks, upgraded water and waste systems, as well as efficient lighting and heating. The European Commission collaborates with smart cities to tackle local challenges, deliver better services, and achieve the European Green Deal objectives. An example of a smart city is the Smart Dublin project which supports EU goals of smart governance, sustainability, and digital transformation.

Smart Dublin is a pioneering digital twin platform developed by Dublin City Council in collaboration with the Irish Centre for High-End Computing, using open data from the Dublinked portal. During this webinar, two project representatives will demonstrate how digital twins, powered by open data, can revolutionise public engagement, urban planning, and data-driven decision-making. By showcasing tangible use cases and technical solutions from Smart Dublin, the webinar aims to inspire European public authorities to adopt digital twins, fostering smarter and greener cities. Participants will gain insights into how this initiative enhances transparency and innovation by addressing challenges in interoperability, data management, and real-time visualisation.

If you missed our last smart cities webinar, which explored EU smart city policies and Rotterdam’s open data-driven digital twin, you can rewatch it online. Save the date and register now for our upcoming webinar to discover how open data is shaping the future of smart cities!
