Paris Entertainment Company aims to become a global benchmark in supporting the development of sports and entertainment infrastructures, meeting the growing demands of a rapidly expanding market.
A Booming Japanese Market
Japan, the world’s second-largest music market, is experiencing sustained growth in live sports and entertainment. A broad program of infrastructure construction and renovation has been launched to address two major objectives:
• Hosting more international artists and promoting world-class shows;
• Meeting the new requirements of the Japanese National Basketball League, which now mandates that first-league teams play in arenas with a minimum capacity of 5,000 spectators.
These developments present a strategic opportunity for Paris Entertainment Company, whose expertise in arena development is increasingly attracting interest from Japanese stakeholders. Several Japanese delegations have visited the Accor Arena and adidas Arena in Paris in recent months to draw inspiration from innovative models of transformation and operation.
