Abstract

Digital twin is a virtual representation of objects, processes, and systems existing in real-time. This technology plays a crucial role in meeting diverse requirements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With the ability to simulate and execute all functions easily, efficiently, and minimizing risks, digital twin technology is widely adopted globally, bringing numerous benefits not only to various industries but also to the public sector. This paper systematically reviews theoretical research on the concept, characteristics, benefits, and applications of digital twin technology, along with some experimental studies on digital twins worldwide. From this, it draws lessons to provide directions and policy implications for Vietnam.
