VILNIUS, Lithuania – June 17, 2026 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated (NASDAQ: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, announced today it is expanding its Lithuanian operations with the opening of a new office in Vilnius. The company plans to grow its Lithuanian team of approximately 300 colleagues by nearly a third over the next three years, actively recruiting across UX design, product management, and software engineering. This expansion capitalizes on the region’s rapidly maturing technology ecosystem and positions Vilnius as a central hub for Bentley’s European digital innovation strategy.

Bentley Systems has operated in Lithuania for over two decades. Today, engineering teams in Vilnius and Kaunas drive the development of key Bentley solutions, including ProjectWise, for project delivery; SYNCHRO, for construction modeling; and iTwin Platform, the technology powering infrastructure digital twins. The software developed by the local team is instrumental to some of the world’s most ambitious projects – from engineering AI mega datacenters to supporting the construction of complex transit networks such as the pan-European Rail Baltica high-speed railway.

The Baltics provide a highly educated engineering workforce and a progressive regulatory environment for technology development. “Our expansion in Lithuania is a testament to the incredible value our team has brought to Bentley Systems over the past twenty years,” says Julien Moutte, Chief Technology Officer at Bentley Systems. “We have found a thriving ecosystem of innovation, a strong talent pool, and a collaborative spirit that has been instrumental in our success. By scaling our presence in Vilnius, we are tapping into a concentrated market of AI and software development expertise necessary to meet the global demand for intelligent infrastructure solutions.”

To sustain this regional talent pipeline, Bentley Systems continues to expand its deep collaboration with local academic institutions. Through strategic partnerships with Kaunas University of Technology and other premier Lithuanian universities, Bentley actively integrates digital twin technology into academic curricula. This hands-on academic bridge ensures that local graduates enter the workforce with highly sought-after expertise in next-generation cloud and AI-driven engineering.

Edvinas Grikšas, Lithuania’s Minister of the Economy and Innovation commented, “Bentley Systems’ decision to expand its Lithuanian operations speaks to the strength and maturity of our technology sector. When a global infrastructure software leader places some of its most strategic product development in the hands of Lithuanian engineers, it confirms that our talent is shaping technologies that underpin critical infrastructure worldwide.”

Elijus Čivilis, General Manager at Invest Lithuania, sees Bentley’s expansion as a strong signal of long-term confidence in the country as an engineering hub, “Bentley Systems’ long-standing journey in Lithuania is a compelling example of how international technology companies can build deep, lasting roots in our country. Their decision to grow the team by a third, and entrust Lithuanian colleagues with leading the development of products at the forefront of digital twins and AI in engineering, shows the kind of strategic role Lithuania plays in the global technology landscape.”
