ParcBit has hosted the kickoff meeting of the Digital Twin of the Balearic Islands, an ambitious initiative designed to drive the region’s digital transformation and enhance the efficiency of key public services. The meeting, led by the Director General for Innovation and Digital Transformation, Sebastián González, brought together the main institutions involved in its implementation.
Participants included representatives from Water Resources, Emergency Services, Land and Landscape Management, Ibestat, the Cartographic and Geographic Institute, the Tourism Strategy Agency and the technical team from NTT DATA, the company contracted to develop the technological infrastructure.

ParcBit Launches the Digital Twin Project to Position the Balearic Islands as a European Leader in Data-Driven Territorial Management
Funded with 4.6 million euros from European funds, the project aims to build a technological platform capable of collecting and analysing territorial data to improve tourism management, water resources, and emergency response.
The Digital Twin will create a virtual model of the Balearic coastline, updated with real-time information. This model will help regulate visitor flows, prevent overcrowding, simulate the behaviour of water masses during extreme weather events and improve coordination between emergency services.
Using advanced tools such as artificial intelligence, satellite imagery, sensors and machine learning, the platform will generate a comprehensive data ecosystem that supports accurate simulations and forecasting, enabling decision-making based on reliable evidence.
The project will also contribute to protecting natural ecosystems, improving environmental sustainability and optimising economic and operational resources. Its foundations are interoperability, data sovereignty, governance and traceability—ensuring seamless data exchange, full public control over the information, transparent access rules and the ability to audit any data used in decision-making.
Through this initiative, the Balearic Islands aim to position themselves as a European benchmark in the use of cutting-edge digital technologies for public administration and territorial management.
