In future, the BTD Group s international clients will be served by BTD International Consulting AG. Located in Zurich, the newly founded company advises sports clubs, leagues, associations, organisers and operators of stadia & arenas in the construction and modernisation of event venues.
BTD International Consulting AG primarily benefits in this respect from the experience gained in the construction and operation of the Munich Allianz Arena.
A main portfolio focus is thus all consultancy services, in conception, implementation and the ongoing operation of event arenas. Here, the Group s independence from combines and external investors is an important guarantee for the optimum selection of suppliers and long-term investment protection.
The appointment of the former vice-president of SKIDATA, Johannes Lippert, as CEO could be secured. "We consider ourselves lucky at BTD to have enlisted Mr Lippert as one of the world s most experienced consultants in stadium processes and technology", stated the Managing Director of BTD Group, Stefan Leibhard.
Johannes Lippert describes the novel opportunities as follows: "Against a backdrop of concrete requests and demands from international quarters, establishing the company was a natural step. Sought-after solutions from major events such as the UEFA European Championship, the forthcoming Olympics, FIFA World Championships or simply the necessary upgrades of existing arenas figure amongst our core competencies."
