Cyviz Easy Platform creates a forward-thinking visualization center for
Norwegian start-ups. Smart Innovation Norway is an organization that seeks to
practice independent, applied research within the fields of renewable energy and
information technology.

It does this through research projects and clusters that focus on Smart Energy,
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Cities, and Digitalization. It has over 100
cluster members, 250 research partners, and over 40 employees based in its HQ in
Halden. Smart Innovation Norway is now a key national innovation player, having
initiated or participated in over 30 research projects including 14 for the EU,
and the Horizon 2020 projects EMPOWER, INVADE, and E-LAND. In August 2019, Smart
Innovation Norway was approved as a research organization by the Research
Council of Norway.

CONTINUOUSLY INNOVATING

To remain at the forefront of the sector, Smart Innovation Norway needs to
support its cluster members and research partners with the best technology
infrastructure. This meant updating its visualization center to a Smart
Innovation Arena that allows pitching, demonstrations, simulations, conferences,
meetings, and more.

EXPLORING CYVIZ´S POTENTIAL

The old center was, unable to keep up with new demands for hybrid and virtual
events. Having heard about Cyviz through the Norweigan Catapult Programme -
https://norskkatapult.no/information-in-english/ the Smart Innovation Norway
team decided to explore what Cyviz could offer in terms of a better solution to
their needs.

The Cyviz Easy Platform is simple to customize, without the need for specialist
programming skills and this made setting up the new Smart Innovation Arena a lot
quicker and cost effective. The flexibility of the system means it can adapt as
Smart Innovation Norway's needs change, responding to macro changes such as the
rise of hybrid and virtual events or external opportunities like integrating
with new technologies.

INTUITIVE EVENTS AND MEETINGS

With just a few clicks, the Smart Innovation Norway team and its partners can
display everything they need to on the video wall, a large, seamless 18-meter
screen. They can stream events, take part in meetings and interviews, and lead
workshops all from the Smart Innovation Arena.

With the more advanced system, the team has found further uses for the Smart
Innovation Arena in training and collaborating with start-ups as part of its
clusters. Simulations can be run via the Arena to explore and demonstrate
products and to pitch investors.

FUTURE PLANS

The team is exploring ways to connect the Arena with other Cyviz installations
globally. "We'd like to not think of it as a one-off physical center in Norway,
but as an island that could link to endless possibilities across the world,"
explains Ketil Thomsen.

The ultimate aim of the Smart Innovation Arena is to become the physical hub for
all activities at Smart Innovation Norway. Driving greater innovation and
collaboration across its extensive partner and start-up network, public
organizations, and academic institutions.
