This category recognizes projects that demonstrate digital innovation in planning, design and engineering, or operations of urban and industrial places. Please showcase your innovative use of Bentley applications, either independently or combined with other software—including OpenBuildings, OpenPaths, OpenCities, iTwin, and LEGION—across the entire project and asset lifecycle. Please also include discipline-specific applications, including computational design, energy analysis, rail and metro station design, and/or mobility simulation solution.

Please include any quantitative results relating to cost savings and productivity, as well as quality and safety, if applicable. Remember to include high-quality visuals—such as images, screenshots, animations, charts, videos, and diagrams—and provide actual models and product screenshots. Please also provide examples of how you are leveraging digital twins and AI across the lifecycle to advance project delivery and enhance asset performance.

Criteria 1

Demonstrate how the software was able to impact the design, construction, operation, and/or maintenance of a city, airport, port, campus, or industrial site.

Criteria 2

Illustrate the project complexity and the reason why collaboration and the technology were required to solve challenges, such as:

• Surrounding environment.
• Short timelines.
• Cooperation among different teams/stakeholders.

Criteria 3

Demonstrate an effective and unique application of Bentley software, showcasing digital advancements that warrant consideration.

Criteria 4

Provide measured/quantified return on investment (ROI) achieved using Bentley software, including:

• Cost savings (energy efficiency, water loss, design, construction and maintenance costs).
• Time savings.
• Resource optimization.
• Risk management (mitigation measures and solutions).

Criteria 5

Showcase sustainability impact of the project (climate adaptation, society, community, safety, environmental, etc.), including:

• Energy savings.
• Lower carbon footprint.
• Improved resilience.
• Improved quality of life.
• Mitigated risk.

Submissions must include high-quality, engaging, and informative images, screenshots, models, simulations, animations and movies, charts, and/or diagrams.
