Bentley Systems Announces Finalists for Be Inspired 2016
In recognition of the projects that have innovated in the use of technologies applied to design, construction and infrastructures, in October the 2016 award will be held in London known as Be Inspired, which has been developed since 2004, called at that time BeAwards. The winners will be chosen by an independent jury, which to date has selected 54 finalist projects from more than 300 nominations promoted from 80 countries.
The event coincides with the Conference known as Year in Infrastructure, which is attended by more than 100 members of the press worldwide, in which not only the nominated projects but also trends in the Geo-Engineering market are presented. This year there will be presence of companies linked to the AECO market, which in this case includes Microsoft, KPMG, AECOM, Shell, Applied Research & Asociates, Atkins and Black & Veatch; With this and what we saw earlier from Siemens and Trimble, the geofumed approach pursued by the CEO of Bentley Systems is notorious.
