Here at uniqFEED, we develop virtual advertising technology for live sports using software – a novel approach, but one we believe is the future. The company was founded in 2015, when virtual advertising was still in its infancy and most available solutions were dependent on complex hardware and adaptations to in-stadium equipment which made it costly, intrusive and difficult to deploy at scale. uniqFEED founder Lukas Gysin had a vision to create something simpler, scalable, and most importantly – future proof. He met co-founder Dr.-Ing. Ralf Dragon and Prof. Luc Van Gool and the three set about bringing the concept to life, driven by their combined passions for technology and sport. uniqFEED is now a team with expert scientists and developers, based in three locations around the world, our headquarters in Zurich, our US office in New York, and our research facility in Hanover, Germany. Our fantastic team works hard to develop the best solutions for our customers. For further information, please contact us: info@uniqfeed.com +41 44 500 43 32
