Infrastructure engineering software company Bentley Systems has announced the finalists for its 2021 Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure. 

The annual awards programme highlights and rewards the work of Bentley software users in advancing infrastructure design, construction and operations throughout the world. 16 independent jury panels selected the 57 finalists from nearly 300 nominations submitted by more than 230 organisations from 45 countries across 19 categories.

Winners of the student Future Infrastructure Star Challenge will also be announced. This challenge provided students from around the world a platform to develop a concept or an idea of how they can change the world with infrastructure. Five independent jury panels of Bentley experts selected the Top 10 finalists from 144 project submissions from 61 countries representing different infrastructure domains. Winners will be selected by a panel of Bentley and external expert judges. You can view the Future Infrastructure Star Challenge finalists here.  

New this year, all winners will be revealed during keynote presentations on 2 December 2021, as part of the Year in Infrastructure online event. To watch the Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure finalists present their projects in their category and also to register for the Year in Infrastructure online conference event, visit https://yii.bentley.com/
