iTwin Activate
Building the Future of Digital Twin Technology
iTwin Activate Program
The iTwin Activate program fosters collaboration between Bentley and early-stage start-ups in the infrastructure software industry. The program helps the start-ups build on Bentley’s digital twin platform technology, shares our industry expertise, and supports their efforts with funding out of Bentley’s iTwin Ventures fund.
iTwin Activate 2025 Cohort: Advancing Infrastructure with Cesium & 3D Tiles
Bentley’s current iTwin Activate cohort focuses on startups using 3D geospatial data to improve infrastructure. A 3D geospatial view is the most intuitive way for infrastructure professionals to search for, query, and visualize information.
The combination of Cesium plus iTwin enables developers to seamlessly align 3D geospatial data with engineering, subsurface, IoT, reality, and enterprise data to create digital twins that scale from vast infrastructure networks to the millimeter-accurate details of individual assets.
The cohort runs virtually, kicking off in late August and completing by mid-December, 2025.
The application period is now closed.

iTwin Ventures Cohort Success
We are proud to support forward-looking startups like those selected for Bentley’s iTwin Activate—Asset Monitoring for Transportation cohort. This program empowers the design, construction, and operation of resilient transportation infrastructure through intelligent digital twin solutions.
Discover how these startups harnessed Bentley’s digital twin technology in the iTwin Platform to drive innovation in asset monitoring and create cutting-edge solutions. See how they bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds with their groundbreaking approaches.
- The Cross Product
-
The Cross Product (TCP) automates the processing of lidar data for railways and highways, performing tasks such as regression of track geometry at scale.
They built an integration with OpenRail, enabling users to access TCP’s regression at scale capabilities to support signaling projects and other large-scale projects involving hundreds or thousands of kilometers of railway.
- Intelligent Project Solutions
-
Intelligent Project Solutions (IPS) uses computer vision and natural language processing to build AI-powered solutions that can read and structure engineering content in undigitized documents.
IPS applied their capabilities to read legacy bridge inspection reports of various formats, structure the data, and then enrich the iTwin with that historical data.
- Roebling Labs
-
Roebling Labs uses cameras with motion amplification to monitor bridges in a more scalable way than installing physical sensors.
Roebling Labs built a “smart bridge in a box,” bringing their bridge monitoring system data into iTwin to create a dashboard for their video-based bridge monitoring service.
- Telemattica
-
Telemattica’s Pantograph Collision Detection System (PCDS) geolocates and captures video footage of condition issues in overhead wiring of rail networks.
Telemattica built an integration between PCDS and the iTwin platform for displaying the data collected by the PCDS at sites across a train operator’s network. This data can now be displayed alongside other contextual information contained within the iTwin.
