Top 10: Digital Twin Platforms - Technology Magazine

ArticleA democratic foundation for common discussions September 9, 2026The digital twin of Munich, Intergeo’s host city this year, has made impressive progress since its early days as a HoloLens demo in 2019. In this exclusive interview, Markus Mohl, head of Geoservices and Digital Twin Munich, reflects on that journey and on the enormous importance of municipal urban geodata. He also discusses how the digital twin helps to address the wide range of challenges facing a major modern city like Munich. You’ve watched the digital twin of the city of Munich grow from a demo into what is arguably Germany’s most advanced piece of urban infrastructure. What do many people – perhaps including geospatial professionals – still misunderstand about the concept of urban digital twins? Thank you very much for your kind feedback, but I wouldn’t want to judge whether our Digital Twin Munich can actually be described as the most advanced piece of urban infrastructure. Since our HoloLens demo, many cities have made considerable progress, just as we have here in Munich. I believe geospatial professionals already have a very good understanding of urban digital twins.
