PTF - The Network Sessions: Amazing Arena

iMMovator en Amsterdam Innovation Arena

On 8 and 9 February, Amsterdam ArenA and a select number of its partners will share their stories with an international group of leaders from cities, football associations and stadiums that are hosting matches during the <A HREF="http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/?utm_source=Verzendlijst+Powering+the+Future+Amsterdam+ArenA&utm_campaign=e80a394972-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_01_19&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_7bdf8c08ae-e80a394972-#/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">UEFA European Championships in 2020</A>.
During this Powering the Future-session, special attention will be given to innovation in three areas: energy transition and storage, playing field and stadium-sized show tooling such as lights. Examples range from using old batteries for energy storage, installing sensors to measure pitch quality, to installing the latest in lighting technology to serve television audiences and local audience alike.
The Amsterdam Arena will share how it works with partners to innovate the core services it offers. How does the ArenA innovate? This interactive talk show provides the answers and is relevant for any innovation manager or partner.

16.30 Opening by Amsterdam ArenA - moderator: Monique van Dusseldorp 
16.40-17.00 Energy transition and energy storage
The Amsterdam ArenA is powered by more than 4,200 solar panels and one wind turbine. The main building comprises an impressive energy-generating escalator and the<A HREF="http://www.mobilityhouse.com/en/the-mobility-house-provides-energy-solution-in-amsterdam-arena-project/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> stadium has also installed an energy storage system powered by second-life batteries from used electric vehicles</A>. The xStorage Buildings system from used Nissan LEAF batteries not only provides backup power for the stadium but also distributes energy to the surrounding neighbourhood when needed, to alleviate pressure on the grid. What can cities and stadiums learn from their experience?

17.40-18.00 ArenA's perfect pitch
As part of its overall quality management system, the Amsterdam ArenA continually monitors the quality of the grass pitch. By applying advanced methods and specialized equipment, measurements are taken at regular intervals at nineteen predefined locations in the field, of factors such as shock absorption, energy restitution, soil temperature, soil moisture in the root zone and compression of the top layer. The Amsterdam ArenA has also taken the lead to optimise the sport-technical and utilisation characteristics of rubber-infill pitches to pave the way for their application and acceptance at the highest professional level. The desire to provide top quality drives all the decisions.
