Digital Twin Technology

for Climate Resilience

Nū Data's product suite leverages cutting-edge digital twin technology to transform how organizations understand and respond to climate challenges. Unlike traditional simulations, our digital twins continuously ingest real-time or low-latency data, creating dynamic models that enable effective testing, prediction, and recommendation.

How Our Digital Twins Work

Our digital twins create virtual replicas of complex systems—from individual supply chains to entire food value networks. These dynamic models:

  • Continuously update with new data from multiple sources

  • Reflect the interdependencies between environmental, social, economic, and operational factors

  • Enable organizations to visualize current states and explore potential futures

  • Generate specific, actionable recommendations based on organizational context and goals

The result is a powerful tool for climate resilience planning that combines the depth of sophisticated modeling with the accessibility of intuitive visualization and clear guidance.
