From Visualization to Decision: The Rise of AI-Powered Digital Twins

Raza Jafri is a globally recognized entrepreneur, TEDx Speaker, and Founder & CEO of MetaWorldX, a world-leading and award-winning digital twin technology company driving innovation across smart cities, cleantech, and immersive urban development. Recognized as the Most Influential CEO 2025 – Digital Twin Technology and a Top 40 Under 40 Sustainability Star, he also serves as a United Nations ITU/UNICC Citiverse Expert, contributing to global standards for digital twins and virtual environments. With an Executive MBA from Queen’s University and a background in Urban Planning & Sustainable Development, Raza is a leading voice at the intersection of technology, leadership, and future-ready cities.
 

In his session, Raza will explore how AI-powered digital twins are evolving from visualization tools into decision-making platforms, transforming how organizations manage complex environments. He will demonstrate how integrating live data streams, predictive analytics, and scenario simulations enables a shift from static dashboards to real-time, forward-looking intelligence. The session will highlight how organizations can unify BIM, GIS, and IoT systems, enable “what-if” simulations, and move toward digital command centers that actively optimize performance, resilience, and sustainability. This approach moves beyond visualization to deliver actionable insights and intelligent operations at scale.
