With over 30,000 employees in 30 countries, UST builds for boundless impact –touching billions of lives in the process.

What is UST role in the project?

UST provides Swarmchestrate with a demonstrator based on a metaverse of a natural habitat that requires orchestration of sensors and data in order to bring to life a simulation a constantly changing and accurate digital twin. UST is also involved in the development of the decentralisation and blockchain components of the project.

Why is this project important for UST?

Digital twins and metaverse environments have been built for engineering and entertainment. There is a whole series of potential benefits deriving from better modelling and visualising the natural environment –from education, to bioscape management, to disaster management. However, building accurate digital twins outside of highly controlled and homogeneous environments, such as factories and processing plants introduces new challenges that can be solved with better cloud continuum orchestration, and thus Swarmchestrate promises to reduce the barriers to this evolving concept.

Who are the key people involved?

The Spanish innovation and blockchain team of UST participate in this project.
