The Infrastructure Podcast: Episode 37

Guest: Greg Bentley, chief executive officer, Bentley Systems

Going digital - towards infrastructure intelligence

In today’s podcast we will be expanding our minds to hear some of the very latest thinking around how the infrastructure sector is set to continue accelerating its towards digitisation, embracing the use of data and building expanding its so-called “infrastructure intelligence”.

The podcast is recorded in Singapore at the 2023 Bentley Systems Year in Infrastructure event in the very impressive Marina Bay Sands hotel. It is indeed a great place to be inspired and energised by the opportunities and achievements that technology has to offer this built environment sector. 

And, given Singapore’s 50 year infrastructure strategy, it’s a great place to be inspired about how to plan and deliver nationally significant investment.

The future of our built environment depends on doing more with less and on achieving better economic and social outcomes for communities. That means creating new, sustainable solutions that will both protect our natural environment and meet global target for cutting carbon emissions. 

It is clear that to achieve these goals the architecture engineering and construction sector needs digitalisation. It needs to use the power of AI and data analysis tools to make better decisions and deliver the vital outcomes needed today to change the world for the better tomorrow. 

That means helping public and private client to create the vital market confidence required for the supply chain to accelerate this vital investment in digital transformation.

It is a massive challenge. It is therefore my pleasure to welcome Greg Bentley, chief executive officer at Bentley Systems, the man who, for the last three decades or more, has truly been on a mission to, as he might put it, help the infrastructure sector to “go digital” and transform the outcomes delivered to communities around the world.
