It seeks to generate social impact through innovative approaches while showcasing the fusion of digital technologies with infrastructure planning to address real-world challenges effectively.
Individuals or organizations involved in creating virtual worlds, providing data technologies, offering dynamic data insights, GIS/BIM technologies, utility and transport network mapping, setting standards, or contributing to viable business models can join. The PoC welcomes participants with diverse expertise and interests in shaping the future of digital infrastructure planning.
Joining the PoC offers numerous benefits, including opportunities to contribute to pioneering projects with national and global implications, showcasing innovative solutions, networking with industry leaders and government bodies, and being part of a transformative initiative shaping the future of infrastructure planning and development.
The Sangam Digital Twin PoC will be held in one of the major cities of India which will serve as a venue for innovation, providing a conducive environment for exploring transformative approaches to infrastructure planning and design.
The Expression of Interest (EoI) is an invitation extended by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to industry leaders, tech companies, experts, startups, institutions, and innovators. It focuses on participating in a Proof of Concept (PoC) aimed at revolutionizing infrastructure planning and design through the integration of Digital Twin technology with comprehensive mobility insights.
The selection criteria emphasize creative and innovative thinking, relevant experience in Digital Twin technology or related fields, and the potential to contribute significantly to the PoC. Applicants are evaluated based on their competence and active involvement in project activities. The Department of Telecommunications reserves the right to delist participants who do not meet the criteria or adversely impact the progress of the PoC.
The EoI process consists of two stages:
Participants are expected to contribute meaningfully to the PoC by demonstrating competence in their respective areas and maintaining active involvement in project activities. Failure to meet these expectations may result in delisting from the project. Participants are not obligated to provide specific reasons for delisting, and the Department of Telecommunications will not bear any financial liabilities resulting from delisting.
The submission requirements for the EoI include personal and organizational details, previous experience in related projects, and any relevant achievements or recognitions. Additionally, participants are required to provide details of their proposed approach or methodology, technological resources they plan to use, human resources commitment, and any additional information they deem pertinent.
