Customer Awards

The Hexagon Elite Awards

We are pleased to announce the 2023 Hexagon Elite Award winners! The Hexagon Elite Awards honor Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division customers who are champions of progress and innovation using Hexagon solutions.

This year, we recognized winners aligned with the Smart Digital Reality, a unified, role-based, real-time view of the physical and digital realities across your project and asset portfolio. This accelerates data velocity across the asset lifecycle to enable improved collaboration and smarter decision-making that increases productivity, operational integrity and sustainability of industrial facilities. It is fueled by the Digital Backbone, our engine for interoperability, intelligence and innovation that connects data across the entire industrial asset lifecycle, enabling you to achieve more digital twins, third-party software and legacy systems.

Thank you to all who participated, for sharing their incredible work and innovative use of Hexagon solutions!
