Bentley Systems presented the 2010 Be Inspired Awards and Be Inspired Special Recognition Awards at its Be Inspired: Thought Leadership in Infrastructure event, held October 19–20 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The awards honor Bentley users who are working to improve and sustain the world's infrastructure. A total of 24 award winners, representing projects in 16 different countries, were recognized at the annual event.
An independent panel of jurors, which included Bentley users and industry experts, selected the 19 Be Inspired Awards winners from 55 finalists. These finalists had been chosen from 320 nominations submitted by 249 organizations in 45 countries.
The five winners of Bentley's second annual Be Inspired Special Recognition Awards were placed into nomination by the same panel of independent jurors for innovative and visionary infrastructure project achievements embracing multiple Be Inspired Awards categories. The nominees were reviewed by a panel consisting of Bentley executives, as well as Bentley Infrastructure Ambassadors Council members Norbert Young, Jim Porter, and Patrick McCrory. The achievements recognized included: Attaining Return on Innovation, Advancing Interoperability, Sustaining Our Society, Sustaining Our Environment, and Sustaining the Professions.
CEO Greg Bentley said, "The recipients of this year's awards are being acknowledged for their exceptional talent and achievements in innovatively employing information modeling and collaboration technology and implementing best practices in sustaining infrastructure. On behalf of my colleagues at Bentley, I heartily congratulate these winners for their exemplary projects improving infrastructure and contributing to our world's economic and environmental resilience. Their work is an inspiration to us all!"
