Dear Distinguished Guests, Colleagues, and Friends,

On behalf of the Digital Twin International Advisory Committee and the Organizing Committee, it is our great honor and pleasure to welcome you to the 6th Digital Twin International Conference (DigiTwin 2026).

Digital twin technology continues to evolve as a foundational pillar of next-generation engineering, intelligent systems, and sustainable development. By bridging physical assets with high-fidelity digital representations, digital twins are enabling unprecedented advances in smart manufacturing, energy systems, aerospace, healthcare, infrastructure resilience, and urban intelligence. As the global demand for data-driven optimization and system-level integration intensifies, digital twin methodologies are becoming central to scientific innovation and industrial transformation.

DigiTwin 2026 serves as an international forum for researchers, engineers, industry leaders, and policymakers to exchange frontier knowledge, share emerging applications, and explore interdisciplinary collaborations. This year’s program highlights advances in modeling fidelity, real-time synchronization, AI-enabled digital twins, lifecycle management, and cross-domain integration. Through keynote speeches, technical sessions, and strategic dialogues, we aim to deepen both theoretical foundations and practical deployment pathways.

Since its inception in 2018, the DigiTwin conference series has steadily expanded its global influence, fostering an international community dedicated to advancing digital twin science and technology. Building upon the success of previous editions across Asia, Europe, and Oceania, DigiTwin 2026 continues this mission by strengthening global partnerships and encouraging multidisciplinary convergence.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the members of the advisory and program committees, session chairs, keynote speakers, and organizing teams whose dedication has shaped the high-quality scientific program of this year’s conference. We are equally grateful to our academic partners, publishing collaborators, and industry sponsors for their continued support in promoting international cooperation and technological advancement.

We look forward to your active participation in DigiTwin 2026. May this conference inspire meaningful dialogue, innovative thinking, and lasting collaboration within the global digital twin community.
