Description
Calling all smart city innovators – are you passionate about the future of urban living?
Join us in Dublin to be part of the Urban Tech Challenge. Partner with Bentley, Dublin City University, Smart Dublin, and Google to collaborate with leading minds and build scalable 3D geospatial experiences for key urban priorities, including:
Building and infrastructure design optimisation: Design, planning, and 3D modelling by leveraging geospatial and geotechnical insights.
Flood forecasting and management: Resilience planning and emergency preparedness, as well as impact analysis and simulation, visualising risk and climate adaptation.
Urban mobility optimisation: Leverage urban mobility data for traffic and road system construction planning, as well as impact analysis and/or traffic management and safety.
The goal of the Urban Tech Challenge is to demonstrate that an open-platform approach, integrated with Google’s advanced data capabilities, can help address these priorities for cities of any size. You can enhance the experience by also bringing your own data to experiment in this fast-paced exploratory environment.
Apply today to be part of a team to dive in using cutting-edge 3D geospatial technology to solve these challenges.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 9, 2025
Your acceptance and next steps will be communicated to you by email by May 16, 2025.
