TalTech will lead the development and implementation of digital twins in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The international Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) has appointed Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) as the Regional Branch Organizer (RBO) for the Baltic region to strengthen cooperation between industry, academia, and the public sector. As part of the Smart Industry Centre of Excellence initiative, a 10-member TalTech delegation participated in a DTC event in San Francisco, where the collaboration was established.

TalTech and DTC will collaborate on developing standards, creating use cases, designing training programs, and implementing proof-of-concept projects across various sectors, including smart cities, manufacturing, energy, and maritime.
“The role of regional lead in the Digital Twin Consortium means that TalTech becomes the central hub for digital twin technologies across the Baltics – whether in medicine, industry, urban planning, defense, or other fields,” said Assistant Professor Vladimir Kuts, who heads TalTech’s initiative. “This position will bring more international cooperation, new projects, and top experts in the field to our events.”
DTC’s Chief Technology Officer Dan Isaacs confirmed: “With its expertise in engineering and applied sciences, TalTech is an ideal partner to elevate the adoption of digital twins in the Baltic region.”
Regional leads within the DTC help raise awareness of digital twin technologies, organize local events, and support practical implementations throughout the technology lifecycle. TalTech will also collaborate with other regional leaders around the world.
A digital twin is a technology that enables the creation of virtual replicas of real-world systems to test, analyze, and optimize their performance. The development of this technology opens new opportunities for smarter production and more sustainable urban environments.
