Event infrastructure provider for major sporting and cultural events across EMEA
Arena EMEA designs and delivers temporary structures, seating, and infrastructure for prestigious live events across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The company is undergoing a pronounced sustainability transformation—decarbonisation and circular-economy initiatives dominate the active project list, and recent leadership hires (Head of Sustainability, ESG Sustainability Head) signal organizational commitment to embedding environmental strategy across operations and revenue models. Stack remains traditional (Office, CAD, SketchUp, Revit), reflecting the capital-intensive, project-based nature of event infrastructure delivery.
