What can other cities learn from the project?

We hope our collaboration between public and private parties inspires other cities and stadiums. All Amsterdam Innovation Arena products and services that are thoroughly tested and scalable can be delivered to municipalities or stadiums around the world.

CEO of the Amsterdam ArenA Henk Markerink has commented on the importance of the ArenA collaborating with partners to realise innovations, instead of going it alone. As such, the innovation deal sees the Amsterdam ArenA work closely together with other companies, knowledge institutions, the municipal authorities, residents and visitors.
