Scenexus User Summit 2026: Advancing the Future of Digital Twins Together

Scenexus successfully hosted its first User Summit this week, bringing together a diverse group of city representatives, infrastructure authorities, and strategic partners to share real-world experiences with the Urban Strategy platform and to collectively explore the future of digital twins.

The event marked an important milestone for the Scenexus community, providing a dedicated forum for users to exchange insights on how they are embedding Urban Strategy into their organisations and decision-making processes. From operational deployment to long-term planning, participants demonstrated how predictive digital twins are becoming an essential tool for addressing complex, interconnected urban challenges.

From Today’s Practice to Tomorrow’s Capabilities

Throughout the day, attendees shared compelling stories about the practical implementation of Urban Strategy. These sessions highlighted how organisations are already leveraging the platform to support integrated planning across mobility, environment, and spatial domains.

At the same time, Scenexus provided a forward-looking perspective on upcoming developments. Discussions focused on new functionalities that will further strengthen the platform’s ability to deliver actionable insights at speed and scale. Among the innovations presented were:

  • The new QGIS connector, enabling seamless integration with widely used geospatial workflows
  • Enhancements in our 4-step demand model, traffic analysis, supporting faster and more detailed scenario evaluation, such as selected link and selected zone analysis.
  • Advances in environmental analysis, allowing for deeper insight into air quality, exposure, and broader environmental impacts
  • The introduction of STAVAQ, to predict queueing and spillback.
 

These developments reflect Scenexus’ ongoing commitment to bridging cutting-edge technology with real-world usability for public and private sector stakeholders.

Showcasing User Experiences

A key highlight of the summit was a set of guest presentations from leading users of the platform:

  • Craig Drury from the UK Department for Transport (DfT) shared how Urban Strategy is being applied to support national-level transport policy and decision-making.

  • Falco de Jong from the Municipality of Amersfoort presented local government experiences, demonstrating how digital twins can enhance collaboration and evidence-based planning at the city level.
 

These contributions offered valuable perspectives on both the strategic and operational impact of digital twin technology, reinforcing the versatility of the platform across different governance contexts.

Responsible AI in Digital Twins

The summit also featured an interactive demonstration by Walter Lohman, CTO of Scenexus, exploring the role of artificial intelligence in the evolution of digital twins. The connection between AI agents and Urban Strategy allows interaction with the platform in human language.

Participants reflected on how AI can enhance interaction with digital twins, making complex analyses more intuitive and accessible, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining governance and control in high-stakes public sector applications.

Strengthening the Scenexus Community

Beyond the formal presentations, the User Summit created space for open dialogue, feedback, and collaboration. Attendees provided valuable input on recent developments and shared ideas on future directions, contributing directly to the ongoing evolution of the Urban Strategy platform.

The strong engagement throughout the day underscored the importance of a connected user community in accelerating innovation and impact.

Looking Ahead

With the success of this first User Summit, Scenexus aims to continue building a vibrant ecosystem of users and partners working at the forefront of digital twin technology. By combining practical experience, technological innovation, and a shared vision for more resilient and sustainable cities, the community is well positioned to drive meaningful change.

Scenexus looks forward to expanding this dialogue in future editions of the summit.
