Birmingham is one of the fastest-changing cities in the UK, with major regeneration, infrastructure and investment projects helping to shape our future.

Next week, at the UK Digital Twin 2026 Conference, we will share its vision for how digital innovation can support that us make better decisions, unlock investment and ensure growth creates opportunities for residents, businesses and communities.

For us, technology is not the end goal. Its value lies in helping deliver better outcomes through jobs, skills, transport, housing and wider opportunities for Birmingham people.

We're looking forward to joining partners from across local government, industry, academia and the technology sector to explore how innovation can support inclusive growth and help create a fairer, more prosperous future for our city.
