Moving on all levels | satis&fy as Official Supplier of the Invictus Games 2023

It wasn’t just the participants who took the path to invincibility. The service providers and partners of the Games have also gone above and beyond for an unbeatable sporting event. For satis&fy, the road to the Invictus Games began at the end of 2022. satis&fy was able to set itself apart from the competition in the public tender by D.LIVE, the municipal operating company of the MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA, thanks to its outstanding conceptual performance in the areas of logistics, sustainability, material preparation and flexibility.

In addition to the strong infrastructure of material warehouses and preparation facilities that satis&fy was able to draw on in the Düsseldorf area, prepared modules, coding and trackable trucks in particular provided an enormous (time) advantage. During set-up alone, the satis&fy team was able to save a whole day’s time. A huge achievement, for which work was carried out in three interlocking shifts during the hot set-up and dismantling phase. This gain allowed us to provide our customer with the spontaneous additional services required for a project of this size.

The scale of the event, the tight time slot for delivery, sorting and final set-up as well as the coordination of the crew – a tricky challenge that satis&fy rose to and which we mastered with unbeatable team spirit. “Very impressive and unique” was the conclusion of the crew. We couldn’t sum it up any better than that.

„Our service offering, the one-stop solution, really showed what it’s made of at the Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023. Utilizing synergies across disciplines, close and early consultation, teams that know each other and know they can rely on each other – that simply makes the difference at events of this size and importance.“ – Nico Ubenauf, CEO satis&fy.

And that’s exactly what we want: to make a difference. That’s why we love events that feel like “more” – on all levels.

The Ceremony Stage inside the arena was the flexible centerpiece and eye-catcher of the games: a multifunctional stage, framed by a 532 square meter curved LED wall, which was installed using special construction elements from satis&fy. “Complete goosebumps” was the motto: during the rousing run-in of the nations and performances by international superstars such as Rita Ora and Macklemore, patron Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, as well as speakers from the world of politics. Emotions were aroused not only during the award ceremonies, but also when the stories of some of the soldiers in the “Heart of Invictus” were shared with the more than 140,000 guests. The beacon of optimism ran through the entire sports week, but the show moments, carried by the audience and every single Games player, shone brightly alongside the athletic performances.

At its core, the Invictus Games were not about technology and logistics, but without these components and the smooth running, the focus could not have been crystal clear on what really mattered: the power of sport and the people who practise it.
