In this dynamic keynote from Geospatial World Forum 2025 in Madrid, Spain, Claire Milverton, CEO of 1Spatial, explores how automation and accurate data are driving the future of AI-enabled digital twins. From underground utility networks to smart city planning, she highlights the crucial role of real-time data, geospatial integration, and AI-powered validation in solving real-world infrastructure challenges.
Using real-life examples—from tackling “fatbergs” in London’s sewers to creating a unified map of the UK’s underground assets—Claire shows how geospatial automation is reducing road closures, minimizing infrastructure risk, and boosting collaboration between utility providers. She also introduces One Street Works, a revolutionary platform that automates roadwork permits and digital coordination using authoritative geospatial data.
As Claire puts it, “We are solving real problems through data and automation,” urging stakeholders to embrace geospatial ecosystems, sensor data, and AI tools to build scalable, climate-resilient, and future-ready infrastructure.
