Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Catalyzing transformation at Bentley University

Innovation is at our core. From being one of the first to provide students with laptops to a state-of-the-art trading room, Bentley has consistently transformed business education to meet future demands.

Future-proofing is essential for success in a world rapidly being shaped by the power of emerging technologies and AI. We must equip our students with the durable skills and forward-thinking mindset needed to thrive amid constant technological disruption.

Bentleyโ€™s graduates prove our approach works โ€” they donโ€™t just adapt to change. They drive it.
