Bentley Announces 2010 Be Inspired Finalists

Bentley Systems has announced the finalists in the 2010 Be Inspired Awards competition. The awards honour the extraordinary work of Bentley users improving and sustaining the world\'s infrastructure. The winners will be announced at the invitation-only Be Inspired: Thought Leadership in Infrastructure event taking place 19th and 20th October 2010, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

 

This year's competition saw a record number of nominations, with close to 325 projects being submitted by 249 organisations in 45 countries. The independent jurors worked hard to narrow down this field of project achievements to the top 56. Each exemplifies innovation in infrastructure design, construction, and/or operations and will be highlighted in our award-winning Year in Infrastructure publication being issued later this year."
