Academpark resident company Fora participated in the creation of the Sibir Arena, which opened on August 13 in Novosibirsk. The team equipped the stadium with a refereeing system and Stadium Graphics.

In 2014, the startup's director, Alexey Alexandrov, worked as a partner manager at Cisco. But he later left the company and moved on to work with sports technologies.

Stadium Graphics appeared in 2018. Alexey and his team needed to connect the system for displaying results on screens. But there were problems with the program, and in one night the team assembled a prototype of their own product. So Alexey created a company that deals with refereeing and graphics systems.

In 2018, the startup, in preparation for the 2019 Universiade in Krasnoyarsk, completed the reconstruction of the Biathlon Academy together with the general contractor cayman islands whatsapp resource EllinAlfa - at that time, the company supplied the judging system and graphic design for the facility. Later, the customer invited the startuppers to participate in the implementation of the ice arena project in Novosibirsk.

for Sibir Arena in 9 months. The company currently provides technical support to the stadium.

Stadium Graphics works as follows: in simple terms, it is a game control panel from which the score, time and violations are recorded; a repository of referee information; a control panel for displaying images/video; equipment for displaying images on screens. The screens may show the score, a live broadcast of the game, the team roster or other information. The data is transmitted via a local network. "Fora" also provides stadiums with team notification systems. Before the match, a graphic and audio notification about the progress of the match appears on the scoreboard in the locker room.

The product's special feature is technical support and customization. When concluding a service contract, Fora immediately reserves additional equipment in the service warehouse. In case of a malfunction, the customer immediately receives a replacement. Technical support trains employees to work with the equipment, and support is present at events. Fora is also currently developing a remote and local monitoring service.

"In our experience, it is always necessary to use monitoring programs for complex technical facilities such as the Siberia Arena. Otherwise, you will encounter problems," says Alexey Alexandrov.

On September 7, a match of the Continental Hockey League was held in Sibir Arena. The stadium staff used Fora equipment to conduct it.
