June 24, 2026 LONDON – June 24, 2026 – As industry leaders and policymakers gather this week for London Climate Action Week, Bentley Systems, Incorporated (NASDAQ: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, today shared findings from a commissioned study conducted by Verdantix, revealing a significant gap between the infrastructure sector’s resilience goals and its ability to operationalise them. The research shows that while infrastructure resilience is a strategic priority, fragmented data and siloed digital systems are preventing organisations from generating the predictive insights needed to reduce infrastructure vulnerabilities, especially climate-related threats. As a result, many infrastructure owners and operators are increasing investments in digital twins and artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen resilience and improve decision-making.

Boozman, Kelly Champion Proactive Support for Maintenance and Security of Rural Water Systems

Boozman, Kelly Champion Proactive Support for Maintenance and Security of Rural Water Systems Senators Introduce FLOWS Act to Strengthen Water Infrastructure Nationwide Press Release March 4, 2026 WASHINGTON – March 4, 2026 – U.S. Senators John Boozman (R-AR) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) introduced the Futureproofing Local Operations for Water Systems (FLOWS) Act of 2026, legislation to launch a targeted grant program to help rural utilities improve reliability while also strengthening and modernizing their cybersecurity. Rural water and wastewater systems are struggling with aging infrastructure, limited staffing and rising operational costs. Many of these systems serve fewer than 3,300 people and are under-resourced, increasing challenges to deploying modern tools that larger utilities rely on to detect leaks, manage pressure, monitor water quality and prevent service disruptions. These limitations drive higher costs for rural residents, reduce system reliability and leave communities more vulnerable to cyber threats. Small and rural wastewater systems struggling with fewer staff, aging infrastructure and unsustainable base rates would greatly benefit from modern digital tools such as leak and pressure monitoring as well as digital security training and maintenance. The legislation authorizes $50 million annually for these improvements, targeted to the smallest and most economically challenged rural communities. “Local water

Alabama Department of Transportation Enhances Performance-Based Budgeting with Bentley Systems’ AI-Powered Blyncsy Solution

Alabama Department of Transportation Enhances Performance-Based Budgeting with Bentley Systems’ AI-Powered Blyncsy Solution ALDOT leverages Blyncsy to improve statewide asset surveys and strengthen data-driven maintenance planning Press Release Alabama DOT is using Blyncsy from Bentley Systems to enhance its existing performance-based budgeting process for highway maintenance. Image courtesy of Bentley Systems. February 5, 2026 EXTON, Pa – February 5, 2026 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, announced today the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is using Bentley’s Blyncsy solution to enhance its existing performance-based budgeting process for highway maintenance. ALDOT adopted a performance-based budgeting model more than 15 years ago and continues to refine its implementation to ensure maintenance funds are allocated based on objective, data-driven insights. Historically, collecting asset condition data across Alabama’s 11,000 miles of roadway network has required significant manual effort and resources. While ALDOT has long employed a data-driven statewide survey, traditional methods, such as manual inspections, are labor-intensive and can introduce inconsistencies. To improve efficiency and accuracy, ALDOT is incorporating Blyncsy’s automated AI analytics into its established process, providing a faster and more consistent assessment of specific designated roadway assets. Blyncsy, part of Bentley’s Asset Analytics portfolio, uses crowdsourced high-resolution
