Singapore (The Bentley Systems 2026 Year in Infrastructure Event), Oct 8, 2026 – Bentley Systems has announced winners across 12 categories in the 2026 Year in Infrastructure Awards. The company reported more than 300 project nominations from organizations in 53 countries.
A panel of independent judges selected the winners during the Bentley Systems 2026 Year in Infrastructure Event, held Oct. 6-7 in Singapore. The categories span infrastructure lifecycle stages, industries and disciplines. For more than 20 years, the awards have recognized infrastructure professionals’ use of Bentley software in design, construction and operations.
Cate Lochead, chief marketing officer at Bentley Systems, said, “Every year, our users impress us with incredible projects that advance the world’s infrastructure. This year’s finalists went well beyond digitalizing traditional workflows. By connecting data across lifecycle phases and engineering disciplines, they used AI to unlock potential that was previously out of reach. That new cycle of AI-enabled innovation requires an open ecosystem, where infrastructure professionals can connect their data and preferred software to make better, faster decisions. Bentley enables that openness, giving engineers the freedom to solve complex challenges faster and build a more resilient, sustainable future.”
