Abstract

This study discusses the application of digital twin technology in sustainable infrastructure management, reviewing the dimensions of management, human resources, MSMEs, and entrepreneurship. A digital twin is defined as a digital representation of a physical asset that enables condition monitoring, scenario simulation, and data-driven decision-making throughout the infrastructure lifecycle. The method used is a qualitative literature study with thematic synthesis of publications from the last two decades related to digital twins, asset management, sustainability, organisational capabilities, and digital entrepreneurship. The results show that the benefits of digital twins for sustainability are highly dependent on specific organisational capabilities. Key capabilities include the dynamic capability to recognise opportunities and reallocate resources, the capability to govern information technology and data, the human resource capability that combines technical and analytical expertise, and the entrepreneurial capability that drives the exploration of new business models. In large companies, digital twins are most effective when integrated with asset planning, risk management, and sustainability reporting processes. For SMEs and entrepreneurs, opportunities arise in the development of specialised services in specific parts of the digital twin value chain, provided they are able to leverage networks and learn from collaborative projects.
