by Bentley Systems. The first day of the event focused on how artificial intelligence, open
data, and geospatial technology are reshaping the way infrastructure is designed, delivered, and
16/10/2025 operated. From transformative AI announcements to in-depth discussions on digital water
management, the conference highlighted the growing convergence between technology and
engineering expertise.

This year’s Year in Infrastructure reflected the

rapid adoption of AI across the industry

The day began with a keynote by CEO Nicholas Cumins and CTO Julien Moutte, who
unveiled new Infrastructure AI capabilities and introduced the Infrastructure AI Co-Innovation
Initiative, a collaborative program inviting engineering firms and asset owners to shape the next
generation of AI-driven workflows. “AI is poised to transform infrastructure,” said Cumins. “At
Bentley, our vision is for AI to empower infrastructure engineers—not replace them.
Trustworthy AI, built on infrastructure context, can improve engineering productivity and
transform workflows across project and asset lifecycles.”
