Harnessing digital tools to shape Europe's energy future

Dr Istvan Vokony, TwinEU Project Coordinator spoke to host Areti Ntaradimou about how technology itself is not automatically a solution. “I can utilise a new tool in an appropriate way, or I can waste it,” he explained. The real value lies in deciding what data to collect and how to use it. Humans can process only a handful of information sources at once, but digital systems can handle hundreds. Done well, this means faster processes, lower costs, and decisions based on solid, real-time insights rather than guesswork. This is where digital twins come in. Unlike traditional simulation models, which rely on assumptions, digital twins use live measurements.
