7 July 2026 – Neuron Digital and the British Standards Institution (BSI, abbreviated below) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on initiatives that will drive positive change across the global Built Environment sector. The agreement will focus on the practical application of ‘live’ digital twins, data, artificial intelligence, and wider digital transformation to help improve asset performance, sustainability, and long-term outcomes across the built asset lifecycle. 

The collaboration brings together Neuron Digital’s capabilities in ontology-based open platform, AI infrastructure and applied digital twins, with BSI’s expertise in standards, assurance and sector knowledge, supporting a shared ambition to help organisations use building data more effectively and make better-informed decisions. By adopting an outcomes-first approach, the MoU will explore how connected information, smart technologies and trusted digital approaches can help the sector address some of its most pressing challenges, including reducing carbon emissions, building climate resilience, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing user experience.

“We are proud to be working with Neuron Digital to support much-needed transformation across the sector,” said Andy Butterfield, Managing Director, Global Built Environment at BSI. “By applying digital technologies through an outcomes-first approach, we have an opportunity to unlock greater value from building data, improve asset performance, and help deliver a positive impact for people and the planet.”

The Built Environment sector is undergoing rapid digital change as asset owners, developers, operators, and supply chain partners seek more consistent, reliable, and actionable data. Through this MoU, Neuron Digital and BSI intend to identify opportunities to support the responsible adoption of digital technologies and help create the conditions for innovation, trust and measurable impact across buildings, infrastructure and the wider built environment. “I am excited to explore how our combined expertise can support this next phase of digital transformation,” added Shahm Barhom, Managing Director, Global Product Certification at BSI. “By bringing together innovation, assurance, and a shared commitment to better outcomes, we can help organizations build confidence in the technologies and approaches that will shape more sustainable, resilient, and efficient assets.”

Through this agreement, the two companies intend to create the trust required for widespread tech adoption, moving the industry away from static data management and toward real-time, interactive virtual modeling.

“We want to bring trusted digital transformation to the built environment at scale,” said Thomas Pang, CEO at Neuron Digital. “Neuron Digital’s ontology-based ‘live’ digital twin turns building data into real-time, interactive scenarios. Through reliable AI, we are moving past simple insights into safe actions, enabling AI to actually operate the building, optimizing performance on an open platform that can be deployed anywhere.”

By bringing together innovation, certification, and automated technology, the collaboration aims to give organizations the ultimate confidence to adopt the tools shaping tomorrow’s infrastructure.
