BJØRK Innovation and AugmentCity invited to an exciting 2-day study trip to Ålesund, Norway, to explore how digital twins can make cities and communities smarter and more sustainable.
In the two days (April 11-12 2023) we explored possibilities of being able to manage, predict and plan city and community development to create better places to live in. We followed the data journey and moved from technology to organization.
Day 1 we immersed ourselves in the possibilities of technology and day 2 we looked at how we can implement holistic society development in systematic innovation programs.
