Bentley iTwin4Good
Virtual Developer Programme
Through the iTwin4Good Virtual Developer Programme, students around the UK & Ireland will combine their passion for social and environmental impact with the power of digital technology. Over six exciting weeks, you’ll learn to build infrastructure digital twins that tackle real challenges in your community—whether it’s climate resilience, clean transport, or accessible design.
Join solo, with friends, or get matched into a team. Along the way, you’ll receive expert coaching from Bentley developers, gain your iTwin Developer Associate certification, and build an app that drives positive change. Top teams will pitch their ideas to Bentley’s senior leaders—competing for £1,000 in cash prizes and a trip to the Enactus World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand!
