Tender for Author - Digital Twin Report

We are tendering for an author for a comprehensive report on the future landscape of connected Digital Technologies (DTs) at both national and global scales.

 

The report will be structured into four main sections, covering various aspects of the topic, and will culminate in a macroeconomic forecast and implications analysis. The engagement plan includes podcast episodes, campaigns, and strategic partnerships to ensure a wide-reaching impact.

Background

In 2021, techUK published a landmark report: ‘Unlocking Value Across the UK’s Digital Twin Ecosystem. outlines how digital twins can be adopted effectively, and why the accelerated adoption of digital twins is essential for the future success of our people, economy, society, and planet.

Recognising the need for a broader programme of investment (focused on research, skills development, and core engineering capabilities), techUK puts forward the following recommendations aimed at providing a strong, sustainable foundation for digital twin adoption and diffusion across the UK:

  • Develop a cross-cutting, interdisciplinary coordinating body to drive forward digital twin adoption and diffusion in the UK
  • Demonstrate value from (and explore barriers to) the adoption and diffusion of digital twins via a series of strategic demonstrators
  • Trigger the adoption of digital twins across the UK by exploring the development of an online digital twin procurement portal
  • Work with industry to identify talent pipeline requirements and anticipate levels of future demand for skills across the UK’s digital twin ecosystem
  • Fund a net zero 2050 digital twin demonstrator to establish the UK as a global leader in leveraging digital twins for decarbonisation

Our previous report was focused on the technical aspects of application of digital twins. With this framework we will identify the market growth potential.

Digital Twin Report Structure

  • Section 1 – Landscape Map Review
  • Section 2 – Roadmap and Gap Analysis
  • Section 3 – Business Model for Connected DTs at Scale – 2030/2050
  • Section 4 – Macroeconomic Forecast/Implications

Project deliverables

techUK is seeking support to:

  1. Narrow down the scope as well as identify the highest growth potential in particular markets.
  2. Conduct a data analysis and create a roadmap.
  3. Create a macroeconomic forecast and projection.

We will contribute to the work, however, the macro-economic forecast will be developed solely based on your research and data points.

Process and timeline

The launch of the report in Autumn 2024 (a specific date will be identified together with the author).

  • Micro and macroeconomics expertise.
  • Civil service expertise.
  • Quantitative and qualitative analytical skills.
  • Good understanding of the technology sector.
  • In-depth research-proven track record.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills.
