Bentley Systems, EARTHBRAIN form strategic partnership

Bentley Systems (BSY) and EARTHBRAIN, a joint venture between Komatsu (KMTUY), NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS (NTTYY), Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SONY), and Nomura Research Institute, Ltd., announced a strategic partnership to accelerate digital construction. This collaboration builds on the existing partnership established in 2019 between Komatsu and Cesium, the 3D geospatial visualization leader acquired by Bentley in 2024. Cesium’s platform integrates and visualizes geospatial information within EARTHBRAIN’s Smart Construction product suite. Through the new partnership, Smart Construction will incorporate Bentley Systems’ open, AI-powered digital twin technology and applications to enable seamless, interconnected workflows that span the construction lifecycle, from design through pre-construction, earthworks, and beyond. By linking the entire construction process, the partnership will create a new digital experience to enhance safety, productivity, and sustainability at construction sites. These new capabilities in Smart Construction will be initially available in Japan with the opportunity to expand globally.
