Use cases

Wherever it gets cold

SmartSeats are made for every venue where spectators sit outdoors in the cold, from biathlon to football.

Biathlon & winter sports

Outdoor events lasting several hours at temperatures well below freezing: a perfect fit for heated grandstands.

Alpine skiing & ski jumping

Spectators sit outdoors for hours. Warmth increases how long they stay and how much they spend.

Football & hockey

Autumn and spring season: cold enough for heating, warm enough for high occupancy.

First pilot: Oberhof 2026

Our first pilot project starts at the biathlon arena in Oberhof, Germany. Would you like to test heated seats at your venue?
