Notice Information

Notice Title

National Digital Twin Programme - Data Pipelines, Analytics and Visualisation

Notice Description

The NDTP requires services to develop robust data pipelines, analytics, and visualisation tools that will support the integration of multiple infrastructure datasets across various sectors. These services will contribute to the creation of solutions that align with the principles of digital twins, which are virtual models connected to their real-world counterparts by a two-way flow of real-time data. The primary challenge is to consolidate these data sources into a cohesive framework that interfaces effectively with the Integration Architecture (IA), an open-source solution designed under Apache 2.0. The IA facilitates information sharing and quality assessment, ensuring that the right data is available to the right people at the right time.
