Cityzenith creates next generation software tools for building professionals. Headquartered in Chicago with hubs in New York, London, and New Delhi, the company is the world’s leading urban Digital Twin platform provider.
Cityzenith was founded by leaders and team members fromGoogle Earth, Keyhole, Revit Technologies, Autodesk, and Sequoia Capital-backed BIM services unicorn Satellier.
We set out to create a single 3D earth model platform that would unify, correlate, and optimize all the disparate data systems and tools used to design, build, and run today’s modern cities.
Earlier versions of our Urban Digital Twin software platform were piloted in major cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Amaravati, Aberdeen, Orlando, and San Francisco during the last four years.
Cityzenith’s second major international prize was the ‘Digie’, at the prestigious Realcomm technology conference in Silicon Valley, for ‘Best Innovation in Commercial Real Estate’. This acknowledgment highlighted the company’s emerging focus on commercial real estate, infrastructure, and the energy sector, where we have thrived ever since.
The word is definitely out—our ‘Clean Cities - Clean Future’ initiative was mentioned in the media over 1000 times in 2020. In June 2021, Cityzenith was selected by the World Economic Forum (WEF) to join its Global Innovators community to help spearhead the WEF Net Zero Carbon Cities initiative.
The company also advises the European Commission DestinE Earth Digital Twin project, the World Smart Cities Forum, and the Digital Twin Consortium.
