Rotterdam, Netherlands – As a leader in the crypto market, Knaken has teamed up with OARO, specialists in digital identification and access control, to establish a strategic partnership. Together, we are deploying advanced crypto and identification technologies to transform the experience of stadium visitors. The goal? To enhance the safety and accessibility of stadiums while ushering in a new era of financial technology within the sports and entertainment industry.
IMPACT ON THE SPORTS AND EVENT INDUSTRY
“The combination of our crypto technology with OARO’s digital access solutions opens new opportunities for the sports industry and sets a new standard for future events,” said Ronald Jonkers, CEO of Knaken, who is convinced of the revolutionary impact of the partnership. Ariano Hernandez, President & CTO of OARO, agrees: “Together, we are shaping the future of event experience. This collaboration with Knaken means a redefinition of fan experience, making stadium access seamless, faster, and safer than ever before.”
EXPANSION AND FUTURE PLANS
The initiative aims to involve at least half of the Dutch clubs and to expand the technologies into Spain, where OARO already has successful partnerships with leading organizations in sports and aviation, such as the Spanish Football Association and Air Canada. “We are excited about the potential not only to enhance stadium safety but also to introduce our innovative payment solutions, such as Settle. This could completely change how fans interact with their favorite sports venues,” adds Erik Hollander, CCO of Knaken.
Nacho España, VP of Sales at OARO, clarifies: “This partnership is a unique fusion of identity management and financial technology. We are creating a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone visiting the stadium.”
STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONS
Knaken and OARO promise to provide stadiums with the smartest solutions for safety and accessibility, with the role of crypto being crucial. Moreover, this partnership is well-prepared for upcoming financial regulations within the European sports world, focusing on full compliance and readiness.
An interesting aspect of this collaboration is the potential three-party agreement with the ticket partner of a leading Dutch football club, where expertise and values come together with a strong focus on technological innovation, reliability, and a commitment to service. This partnership is grounded in common principles that resonate with the philosophy of some of the world’s most prestigious football clubs.
