AI-enabled digital twins

Development of tailored digital twin prototypes to validate business use cases, combining data wrangling, model building and interactive visualisations.

What it is and why it matters

Digital twins — virtual replicas of physical systems, processes or environments — are increasingly central to informed decision-making in sectors ranging from manufacturing and energy to urban planning and climate research. When combined with AI, they can simulate complex dynamics, predict outcomes and support real-time operational adjustments.

This service, delivered by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust of the University of Luxembourg, enables organisations to develop tailored digital twin prototypes grounded in their specific operational data and business objectives. Concrete examples of applications include local digital twins for smart cities, digital twins of production lines for manufacturing companies, energy grid simulations to model Luxembourg's energy transition, and earth system models for climate forecasting.

How can Luxembourg AI Factory help 

We connect you with Luxembourg's leading research institutions to co-develop a digital twin prototype validated against your real business use case. Through this collaborative service, you gain access to expert knowledge in AI modelling, data engineering and simulation, supported by flexible project structures designed to accommodate the complexity and timeline typically associated with innovation challenges.

What you can expect 

  1. Tailored digital twin prototype 
    A working prototype built around your specific use case, incorporating data pipelines, AI models and interactive dashboards for data visualisation.
  2. End-to-end development support
    Guidance across the full development process, from data wrangling and model building to early prototype delivery and iterative refinement.
  3. Optional API integration
    Depending on scope, an API interface to connect the digital twin with existing systems or external data sources.

Who it is for

This service is intended for SMEs, large companies and public administrations seeking to validate a business use case through a tailored digital twin prototype. To engage, organisations must provide:

  • A clearly defined use case and access to relevant data
  • Readiness to engage in a multi-year collaboration and sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
