Hosted at CU@Kanata, Innovation Morning is a signature event series that unites research, policy, and industry to explore meaningful solutions to emerging challenges.
From construction models and sensor data to inspection records and geospatial datasets, the buildings and infrastructure Canada depends on generate vast amounts of information. Yet much of it remains fragmented across systems, formats, and disciplines, limiting its potential to inform decision-making and long-term planning.
Join us for our next Innovation Morning on Building Canada’s Digital Twin — an engaging session exploring how researchers at Carleton’s Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) are developing a unified, open platform to connect and activate this data. Through expert insights and real-world applications, we’ll examine how the platform brings together building information, geospatial data, and operational systems into a shared environment that supports analysis, visualization, and collaboration across sectors.
This session will also highlight how the platform is being applied with federal partners, and where opportunities exist for industry, government, and research organizations to contribute to its continued development.
Speaker presentations will be followed by an interactive Q&A session and dedicated networking time, providing space for discussion and connection among innovators, researchers, and industry professionals.
Light refreshments will be provided. This event is open to all!
