Bentley Systems has unveiled the Year in Infrastructure 2021 Founders’ Honorees. They represent organisations or individuals whose undertakings contribute notably to infrastructure advancement and/or environmental/social development goals.

This announcement was made at the company’s Year in Infrastructure and Going Digital Awards virtual event, which took place on 1 and 2 December 2021. A total of 22 Founders’ Honorees were recognised.

Bentley Systems’ founders Keith and Greg Bentley, and Bentley’s director of ES(D)G Rodrigo Fernandes, reviewed the compelling credentials of 18 Honorees selected from 230 organisations who submitted nominations for the company’s annual Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure programme.
