Populous Makes Strategic Investment In Oneplan
Global architecture firm Populous has invested in UK-based events planning software company OnePlan.
The strategic investment is intended to bolster Populous’ live event services by integrating One Plan’s twin software VenueTwin into its digital offering for clients.
VenueTwin provides virtual versions of event venues such as stadiums, arenas and conference centres, enabling its users to visualise and plan events.
OnePlan’s geographic information system (GIS) mapping is currently in use for more than 50,000 events across 110 countries.
Populous, which specialises in sports venues, has designed the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London Stadium, Wembley and the Emirates Stadium over the past two decades.
Last month, Populous won Professional Services Team of the Year at the FEVO Sport Industry Awards 2024.
Paul Foster, CEO of OnePlan, said, “This investment opens an exciting new chapter for OnePlan, building on the fast growth we’ve experienced to date.
“The unrivalled knowledge and specialisms of the team at Populous will deepen the positive impact our software provides.
“We’re excited by the new opportunities this partnership opens, and the many benefits it creates for events and venues across the world.”
