Oneplan Partners With Olympic Games

London-based technology start-up OnePlan has been named as a partner to the Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

OnePlan is an event planning and management platform, founded in 2019 by Paul Foster, an international crowd management expert with the mission to simplify and enhance the event planning process. The technology company seeks to empower event organisers, security teams, venue operators and commercial teams to collaborate in real-time.

According to a statement, this is the first time an Olympic and Paralympic Games has chosen a partner for geographic information system (GIS) mapping and digital twin software.

OnePlan will be used by the Paris 2024 Organising Committee for transport, TV broadcast and more. It’s use across the Games reduces the need for site visits for stakeholders, cutting CO2 emissions associated with these visits. 

Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024, said, “This will be an Olympic and Paralympic Games powered by innovation. The way in which we use technology is evolving, and our partnership with OnePlan will facilitate the work of our teams and our entire ecosystem. We will be able to leave a new way of organising events helped by technology.”

OnePlan Founder and CEO, Paul Foster, added, “Paris 2024 will be a landmark Olympic and Paralympic Games, driven by innovation and sustainability. Our collaborative, easy-to-use software will streamline the planning of all event and venue operations before and during the Games. Why is quality and hyper realism so important? From anywhere in the world, users can feel like they are actually in the venues, walking the routes, hearing and seeing the environment as it will be during the Games.”

OnePlan has also announced it has also closed a new round of funding including £2m from Pembroke VCT. The £4.1m funding round will contribute toward developing its technology, growing the sales and operations teams and scaling marketing efforts, as it prepares for the Olympics and Paralympics in 2024.
