With its unified digital environment, Virtual Venue enables seamless coordination for all stakeholders, providing an integrated view of everything from site layouts to real-time data. This digital twin solution streamlines complex processes, reduces the need for physical site visits, and supports real-time, data-driven decision-making across locations, empowering all stakeholders in the event ecosystem. Emphasizing collaboration, sustainability, and data integration, Virtual Venue aligns perfectly with FIBA’s mission to deliver efficient and innovative sports events.
