The Bentley Education program will also help students develop digital skills, which are critical for a qualified talent pipeline to support infrastructure growth and resilience worldwide.
The Bentley Education program uses a role-based learning approach, allowing future infrastructure professionals to focus on specific capabilities needed for specific professions. Students can go beyond mere product proficiency and develop a comprehensive understanding of skillsets required to excel in various roles in infrastructure engineering.
“With many nations and institutions committing to infrastructure and digital education initiatives as top priorities for a post-pandemic world, we are excited to launch this much-requested and responsive program now,” said Katriona Lord-Levins, chief success officer, Bentley Systems. “We want to inspire and encourage students to learn about infrastructure engineering as a possible career path, and to introduce these young minds to the vast opportunities that lie ahead, with infrastructure going digital.”
The Bentley Education portal also serves as a gateway for individual students or teams of two to submit their innovative concepts for Bentley’s Future Infrastructure Star Challenge 2021 . The global competition is open to students from community colleges, polytechnics institutes, and universities. Students advancing in the Challenge, based on their ideas that improve quality of life, will work on modeling, simulation, and visualization to develop a design model. The winner of the Future Infrastructure Star Challenge will be announced during the Going Digital Awards at the Year in Infrastructure 2021 Conference.
The inaugural Future Infrastructure Star Challenge is divided into Stage 1 (Conceptualization), and Stage 2 (Design and Visualization). In Stage 1 (Conceptualization), students are invited to submit their ideas for “a next big infrastructure project” in any of the following categories: road and rail, building and facilities, water and wastewater, cities and mapping, and power generation. While conceptualizing their idea, students should focus on an environmental challenge that affects or is affected by infrastructure development, consider applying the Internet of Things, and emphasize the project’s contribution to the world’s health and welfare.
The top 20 judged projects from Stage 1 (Conceptualization) will each win USD 500, with the top 10 projects moving on to Stage 2 (Design and Visualization). Here, each such entry may take advantage of opportunities to work with infrastructure professionals, and/or to attend masterclasses with Bentley experts, to bring their ideas to life using Bentley applications. In addition to being announced and introduced at the Year in Infrastructure 2021 Conference, the winner of the Future Infrastructure Star Challenge 2010 will receive a cash prize of USD 5,000 and recognition in Bentley’s 2021 Infrastructure Yearbook .
Vinayak Trivedi, vice president of Bentley Education, said, “We want to make the Bentley Education portal the place where students can go to learn about and become inspired to make infrastructure engineering their career choice. The goal of the program is to help students who are passionate about infrastructure to get a jump-start on a fulfilling career. The Future Infrastructure Star Challenge 2021 provides an opportunity for them to be creative and innovative in project designs for improving the quality of life and positively changing the world.”

Airship Helps DIE ZEIT Turn Silent Advocates into 4.9-Star Rating16.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Leveraging Airship’s Customer Experience Platform, Germany’s leading digital news publisher transforms reader engagement and captures 822 active responses in a single day. Airship, the mobile-first customer experience company, today announced that DIE ZEIT, one of Germany’s largest and most prestigious publishers, has successfully transformed its mobile app presence, lifting the Google Play app store rating from 2.7 stars in early 2026 to a near-perfect 4.9 stars.

New CSC Report Illustrates How AI Is Affecting Enterprise Security Leaders16.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
CISO Outlook 2026 report indicates 73% of security leaders view AI as an opportunity rather than a risk, however traditional and AI-driven cyber threats persist CSC, an enterprise-class domain registrar and world leader in mitigating brand, fraud, domain, and domain name system (DNS) threats, today released new research on how chief information security officers (CISOs) are adapting to an evolving artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem while managing traditional cyber threats, such as DNS outages. According to CSC’s CISO Outlook 2026 report, 73% of respondents say AI presents more of an opportunity than a risk for cybersecurity. However, these security leaders continue to face challenges in addressing attacks, including AI-powered domain generation algorithms (DGAs), which 86% of respondents cite as a threat. To thoroughly understand the CISO perspective on today’s cybersecurity landscape, CSC surveyed 300 senior executives—including CISOs, chief technology officers (CTOs), chief infor
TestMu AI Introduces DevTools Assertions in Kane CLI, Enabling Browser-Level Validation Through Natural Language16.6.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
New capability allows developers and AI agents to validate network activity, console logs, browser storage, and performance metrics without writing custom scripts TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, today announced DevTools Assertions for Kane CLI, enabling developers and AI agents to validate browser internals using natural language. Traditional browser automation focuses on what users can see: buttons, forms, text, and visual states. However, modern web applications depend heavily on browser activity that remains invisible to users, including network requests, API responses, console logs, cookies, local storage, and performance metrics. With DevTools Assertions, Kane CLI extends browser validation beyond the UI, allowing teams to verify these underlying signals using plain-English objectives. Developers can now write objectives such as: "Click Add to Cart and assert the request to /api/cart returned status 200." "Run the
