Infosys, a global leader in digital services and consulting, has entered a multi-year strategic collaboration with One Bright Kobe, the operator of Glion Arena Kobe, a new multi-purpose venue in Kobe, Japan. Through this partnership, Infosys will serve as the Official Digital Innovation and Green Transformation (GX) Partner, introducing advanced digital technologies and sustainable practices to redefine live entertainment and sports experiences.
Leveraging Infosys Cobalt, the company’s cloud-first suite of services, the collaboration will focus on enhancing fan engagement, analyzing visitor data for personalized experiences, and creating a unified cloud-based data platform. This approach will also enable Glion Arena Kobe to monitor its carbon footprint, improve operational efficiency, and meet regulatory requirements while strengthening its reputation as a sustainable, next-generation entertainment hub.
By integrating AI, cloud, and data analytics, Infosys will provide actionable insights into visitor behaviors, such as footfall, preferences, and social interactions. These insights will support event organizers and stakeholders in designing more engaging and tailored experiences. The initiative also underscores Infosys’ commitment to building intelligent, adaptable solutions that align with Japan’s vision for innovation and sustainability.
Jun Shibuya, President and Representative Director of One Bright Kobe, said: “Glion Arena Kobe symbolizes resilience and progress as it commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Our collaboration with Infosys will help us deliver world-class entertainment experiences while embracing sustainable practices.”
Glion Arena Kobe, inaugurated in April 2025 in Shinko’s 2nd Tottei area, has a capacity of 10,000 and serves as the home of B. LEAGUE’s Kobe Stokes. The venue also hosts concerts, corporate gatherings, and cultural events. Its surrounding entertainment district, TOTTEI, along with the community-friendly TOTTEI Park, positions the arena as both a premier destination and a community hub for Kobe.
Infosys, with over 320,000 employees across 59 countries, brings decades of expertise in digital transformation powered by AI and cloud. This collaboration reflects its mission to enable sustainable growth while creating opportunities for people, businesses, and communities worldwide.
