Eleven teams compete to create and demo digital solutions that ease Dublin’s pressing urban challenges of transport; planning; and flooding. The tech challenge is a collaboration between Dublin City Council’s Smart Dublin team, Bentley Systems, Google, and Dublin’s City University. Together they provide: data; cutting-edge 3D geospatial technology; and mentoring and technical support, to the competitively selected teams.
The combination of well-defined challenges, different skills in each team, cutting edge tools from Bentley and Google, and access to numerous data sources, leads to rapid progress over the two days. The momentum is palpable, and excitement builds as the teams compete for a place at Bentley’s Year In Industry Awards in Amsterdam in October 2025.
This inaugural episode of Bentley Horizons is co-hosted by Tomas Kellner, Bentley’s Chief Story Teller, and Paul Wilson, Chair of the Advisory Board for Smartcitiesworld.net.
