At the heart of the audiovisual and systems integration industry lies a vibrant cradle of innovation—Integrated Systems Europe (ISE). The 2025 edition of ISE marked a significant milestone with the debut of Innovation Park, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to nurturing startup ventures and redefining the future of AV technology. This dynamic business hub, strategically located in Congress Square, offered 80 promotional pods for emerging businesses to showcase their pioneering ideas. The creation of Innovation Park signals ISE’s commitment not only to celebrate advancements but also to foster meaningful connections between inventors, investors, and industry experts.
Innovation Park quickly became more than a display area; it was a lively ecosystem of entrepreneurial energy. “The enthusiasm on the floor and the quality of the partnerships demonstrated this platform’s importance in shaping our industry’s future,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events. The venue featured a dedicated Pitching Stage, a Matchmaking Area, and an exclusive Investor Forum on the first day, all designed to facilitate hands-on engagement and fuel growth trajectories for startups. From intuitive UI tools to spatial audio technologies, the innovations exhibited addressed real-world challenges with transformative potential.
Among the startups that made remarkable strides at Innovation Park was Treble Technologies, an Icelandic pioneer in acoustic simulation and spatial audio software. Guillaume Demerliac, Senior Marketing Specialist, reflected on their experience: “Innovation Park was a fantastic opportunity for Treble Technologies to showcase our groundbreaking advancements… sharing insights on navigating growth – from initial concept to acquisition – highlighting the pivotal challenges and strategic decisions that have shaped our success.” Their precision sound modeling tools set a new standard in how engineers approach acoustic design, embodying the forward-thinking ethos of the park.
Similarly, Vadim Chekirka, CEO of AVGator, highlighted how crucial the event was for the evolution of AV tech: “We were excited to see the strong demand for efficient UI development tools… Partnerships like these open new doors for innovation, ultimately making customers’ lives easier and more productive.” AVGator’s expertise in AV integration and GUI development showcased the seamless blending of hardware and software capabilities, a crucial trend shaping the future landscape of audiovisual systems.
Innovation Park’s impact extends well beyond individual firms. It cultivates an indispensable creative and business ecosystem that advances entire sectors. With spaces designed for pitching ideas, matchmaking with potential partners, and direct dialogue with investors, the park operates as a catalytic platform that accelerates innovation pipelines. Compared to traditional trade show setups, this format emphasizes interaction and support for startups, fostering a spirit of collaboration and shared advancement that resonates deeply within the AV community. It stands as an inspiring contrast to the often fragmented industry landscapes, offering a centralized hub where technological breakthroughs translate swiftly into market realities.
The innovations birthed and propelled at Innovation Park exemplify how the AV industry is evolving—not merely in technological sophistication but in how solutions grapple with pressing real-world challenges through intelligent design and collaboration. Technologies such as Treble’s spatial audio simulation and Losonnante’s multisensory bone conduction devices broaden the horizon of immersive experiences, hinting at future applications in education, entertainment, and beyond. This progress mirrors the trajectory seen in immersive media sectors like fulldome, where storytelling and sensory immersion converge to create profound audience engagement.
For the global AV and immersive media community, Innovation Park represents a critical nexus where creativity, technology, and business acumen intersect. Its capacity to draw international innovators reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of audiovisual solutions worldwide. By nurturing startups with tailored resources and exposure, ISE not only fuels invention but also strengthens the ecosystem that supports touring domes, planetarium venues, and educational institutions reliant on cutting-edge AV technology. Innovators who gain momentum here have the potential to influence programming at dome festivals and multimedia exhibitions, enriching the landscape of immersive experiences that captivate diverse audiences.
As Innovation Park prepares to expand at ISE 2026, inviting an even broader cohort of startups, its role as an incubator for next-generation AV pioneers is unmistakably cemented. The initiative exemplifies how dedicated platforms for emerging enterprises can drive innovation forward, fostering a spirit of exploration and collaboration that resonates across the entire audiovisual and immersive media sector, including the dynamic world of fulldome content creation and presentation.
