Local Digital Twins for Smart & Sustainable Communities

LDT4SSC is driving the future of smart living by creating connected digital twins for cities and communities across Europe. These digital twins act as virtual mirrors of real places, helping us understand, plan and improve the world around us.

Working hand in hand with major European initiatives — such as the EU’s Local Digital Twin Toolbox, GAIA-X for trusted data and CitiVERSE for urban innovation — LDT4SSC brings everything together into one powerful ecosystem.

With these tools, regions can take on today’s biggest challenges: fighting climate change, improving air quality, saving energy and making better use of resources.

At its heart, the project puts people first. Using ethical and trustworthy AI, LDT4SSC helps create healthier, greener and more sustainable communities for everyone.

3 Key Goals:

1. Smarter Services with AI: We’re building advanced AI tools that respond directly to the needs of communities — from cleaner air to more efficient energy use. 2. Connected Digital Twins: By linking digital twins across cities, regions, and sectors, we create a shared framework where data and solutions can flow seamlessly across Europe. 3. Sustainable Digital Futures: We promote innovation that is ethical, fair and open — supporting Europe’s vision for a greener, more inclusive Digital Decade.
