Why we are here
In people’s pursuit of happiness, they seek for memorable experiences while being on that journey. We’re here to create such memorable experiences. By using groundbreaking technology and innovation we create experiences of an unmatched kind that, in parallel, have the potential to tackle even greater 21st century urban and societal challenges.
What we bring
An unprecedented collaboration platform in a Smart Stadium, within a Smart City, where we initiate, test and accelerate solutions in a real time playground and eventually scale them globally. We operate a small and smart society, with millions of visitors and dozens of partners and make talent and impact visible.
How we behave
We embrace collective thinking by great and diverse minds. We’re part of a broad eco system and act as such. We involve and include, rather than to operate in isolation or from an ivory tower. We create a safe, pre-competitive environment to enable rapid development, testing and demonstration of smart applications, solutions and concepts. We’ll provide a data-driven ecosystem where everyone who wants to join can tap in and contribute.
That ecosystem builds on three pillars
Innovate
We innovate by developing and implementing new products and services together in the ArenA.
Collaborate
Next to a mindset, innovation is a collaborative process. If we all dare to partner, we all accelerate.
Accelerate
The key to competitive advantage is no longer to optimize value chains, but to extend capabilities through collaboration.
