“…However, even advanced and convincing cases with a narrow and well-defined scope, such as bridge maintenance, still fall short of a full digital twin (Mahmoodian et al 2022). Other studies are hampered by the small samples available, as longitudinal or long-term data are required for consistent and reliable results (Rita et al 2022). This is particularly true of attempts to go beyond the microscale of materials and elements and extend to the macroscales of neighbourhoods and cities, so as to identify and promote synergies (Bejtullahu and Morishita-Steffen 2021).…”

Building information modelling (BIM) has ushered in the era of symbolic building representation: building elements and spaces are described not by graphical elements but by discrete symbols, each with properties and relations that explicitly integrate all information. Digital twinning promises even more: a digital replica in complete sync with the building and its behaviour. Such technologies have obvious appeal for circularity because they accommodate the rich information it requires and link circularity goals to other activities in AECO (architecture, engineering, construction and operation of buildings).Present implementations of BIM may fall short of the promise, and digital twinning may be hard to achieve, but they remain crucial not only for circularity but for all AECO disciplines. To realise the potential of such representations, information should be treated not as a product of integration but as the integrator of all activities. Similarly, digitalisation should be at the core of business models and deployment plans, not an additional or even optional layer at a high cost. This calls for a coherent approach that includes the full capture of building information, supports the detailed exploration of circular operations, uses the results to constrain decisions and actions and does so throughout the life cycle.

“…However, when searching for TITLE-ABS-KEY ("industry 4.0" AND "Portugal") on the Scopus database, we found 60 documents, of which only four address the Industry 4.0 Program in Portugal (Faria et al, 2022;Nowacki, 2021;Santa Rita et al, 2022;Savu & Dumitrescu, 2021). Other articles focus on specific enabling technol-ogies such as the work of Dias et al (2022) and Reis et al (2018), or even specific sectors such as the research of Sá et al (2021) and Simões et al (2022).…”

The widespread use of digital technologies is at the heart of a massive global transformation. Business models and processes are becoming increasingly more dependent on data to the point that it is a critical success factor for many companies. However, not all enterprises are fully engaged with this relatively new reality, while some others procrastinate due to the absence of knowledge or easily and financially accessible tools.Based on data collected via a survey, we offer a characterization on the perception of people working in Portugal in respect to the value of technological innovation and its adoption on the enterprises where they work. Our data corroborates the existence of a bias, unfavourable to SMEs, both in terms of implementation and perception of relevance of Digital Transformation and Data-Driven Management in their operational and strategical routines.Based on the assumption that SMEs will face an increasing competitive pressure in the future, since technology progressively benefits economies of scale, we set on to identify business sectors where those enterprises were already lagging compared to larger ones in respect to several structural business metrics. A comparison with information from other European Countries underlines a generic dire picture of businesses in Portugal, where the value added per unit of capital and labour investment are much lower than those found in most European countries. This works emphasizes the need to facilitate the adoption and use of technology in Portuguese SMEs, as well as building up management literacy that encourages continuous improvement and innovation.
