Summary/Abstract: In the context of Industry 5.0, digital twins are becoming a key tool for strategic management, allowing for simulation of real processes, risk prediction and optimization of resource efficiency. This report examines the role of digital twins as an intelligent mediator between operational reality and strategic planning in industrial organizations. A conceptual model is presented in which the digital twin functions as a dynamic platform for integration of production, energy and logistics data, providing a basis for adaptive decision-making and resilience in crises. The main prerequisites for implementing such systems in the an industry are analyzed - level of digital readiness, technological capacity and management culture. In conclusion, recommendations are formulated for using digital twins not only as a technological but also as a strategic tool for achieving competitiveness, sustainable growth and reducing the ecological footprint.
