Using Marine Data for Baltic Sea Decisions: Digital Twins in the Blue Economy

Blue Economy and Digital Technologies By: Rivo Uiboupin, Tallinn University of Technology Recorded on 13 May 2026 as part of the first MarTe Soft Skills Webinar. What if we could use marine data to see what is happening at sea now — and test what might happen under different future scenarios? Rivo Uiboupin explains how digital services can support decisions in the blue economy, from offshore construction and safe navigation to environmental monitoring and marine spatial planning. The talk introduces digital twins in practical terms: digital representations of the marine environment that combine observations, satellite data and modelling. These tools can help planners, authorities and developers understand sea conditions, compare scenarios and assess possible impacts before decisions are made.
