Who we’re Looking for

Our next iTwin Activate cohort theme is about asset monitoring for transportation networks – roadways, rail, bridges, tunnels! 

We are looking for early-stage startups with a transportation focus who are innovating in these areas: collection of asset condition data, generation of novel data streams for asset condition, producing unique insights via analytics / AI, and sustainability.

Over the four-month program running September to December 2024, participants learn about Bentley’s platform and products, gain industry and market insights from our product leaders, and receive development funding of up to $250k via a SAFE note to build their solutions.
