Miami isn’t just preparing for the future — we are building it, powered by the transformative force of AI.
Through a groundbreaking collaboration with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, the City of Miami’s Department of Economic Innovation and Development is proud to announce the expansion of the Brickell AI Digital Twin boundary. This newly extended area now stretches north from Brickell Avenue to I-195 (NW 36th Street), east of I-95, covering approximately 10.5 square miles — a bold move that reshapes the scale of innovation we are unlocking.
But this is about more than geography. It marks a defining leap toward creating Miami’s AI-driven urban metaverse — a real-time, intelligent, and evolving model of the city that will drive smarter planning, faster innovation, and more resilient urban growth.
The Miami AI Digital Twin is designed to be far more than a visualization tool. It will serve as a living, data-powered engine — layered with real-time insights, advanced simulation capabilities, predictive analytics, and AI-driven urban intelligence. From traffic management and zoning optimization to climate resilience and real estate development, it is poised to transform how cities operate, adapt, and evolve.
Why This Expansion Matters
For startups, builders, and technology innovators, Miami’s expanded AI Digital Twin offers a rare and unprecedented opportunity: a real-world testbed where bold ideas can move from concept to deployment with direct urban impact.
By engaging with the Miami AI Digital Twin testbed, innovators can:
- Validate solutions in a high-fidelity environment that mirrors the complexity of real urban systems.
- Simulate the real-world impact of technologies across transportation, housing, infrastructure, and civic services — before full-scale market launch.
- Build platforms and tools that integrate seamlessly into the dynamic infrastructure of a major global city.
- Collaborate directly with Dell Technologies, NVIDIA, and other leading AI and smart infrastructure partners shaping the next generation of cities.
- Gain national and international visibility as part of Miami’s leadership in AI, technology, and smart city transformation.
Miami’s AI Digital Twin is not a sandbox for casual experimentation. It is a living testbed — designed for startups, innovators, and builders ready to shape the future with real-world results.
Open Call: Building the Future Together
In the coming weeks, the Department of Economic Innovation and Development will launch an Open Call inviting startups, technologists, builders, and visionaries to develop, test, and launch their solutions atop the Miami AI Digital Twin platform.
The Open Call will focus on entrepreneurs and innovators working in:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- XR and Immersive Technologies
- Proptech and Real Estate Innovation
- Mobility and Transit Solutions
- Urban Simulation Tools
- Civic Technology
- Data Infrastructure and Analytics
This initiative is about more than technology. It is a citywide movement to co-create the foundational digital infrastructure that will define how cities grow, connect, and thrive for generations to come.
Built in Miami. Designed for the World.
With the expansion of the AI Digital Twin, Miami is positioning itself not just as a smart city, but as a bold global leader in AI-powered urban transformation.
For startups and builders, this is not simply an opportunity to engage with a project — it is an invitation to join a movement. A movement where technology, community, infrastructure, and opportunity converge to reimagine the future of urban life.
The future of cities is being built today. And it is being built right here, in Miami.
