TWINVERSE

TWINVERSE is a project funded by the Horizon Europe programme (under the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission call) that aims to develop a federated ecosystem of AI-enhanced digital twins to help European cities achieve climate neutrality. The project runs for 36 months (May 2026 - April 2029).

The project integrates urban data from multiple domains (mobility, energy, land use and demographics) into a common platform that enables scenario simulation, impact forecasting and participatory decision-making. To this end, it will develop seven artificial intelligence services addressing challenges such as sustainable multimodal mobility, energy efficiency in buildings, urban heat management and air quality, and carbon footprint reduction. All services will be designed for direct integration into cities’ climate governance instruments: Climate City Contracts, SECAPs and SUMPs.

The solutions will be tested in five European Mission Cities: Milan (Italy), Kalamata (Greece), Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain), Cork (Ireland) and Lappeenranta (Finland), each addressing a different climate challenge.

The project is coordinated by Fondazione LINKS (Italy) and brings together 26 partners from seven European countries. The Basque Mobility and Logistics Cluster participates in the Vitoria-Gasteiz pilot as an innovation intermediary, connecting the project’s outcomes with the Basque Country’s mobility and logistics ecosystem.
