The Kai Tak Stadium at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong won the top award in the Leisure and Entertainment category; while Henry Chan, our Associate Director, Acoustics, Audio-visual, Theatre and Lighting Consulting, was honoured as the Consultant of the Year APAC.

The Inavate APAC Awards celebrate excellence in AV and systems integration, recognising projects and firms that push the boundaries of technology and user experience in the Asia Pacific region.

These awards are a powerful recognition of the innovation and dedication behind delivering a world-class AV experience – one that is immersive, intelligent, fully integrated, and future-ready. It’s a proud moment for our team and a testament to the visionary collaboration with our clients and partners.

Associate Director, Acoustics, Audio-visual, Theatre and Lighting Consulting

At the heart of Kai Tak Stadium’s AV design is a bold vision: to deliver a seamless and immersive experience for every spectator, whether attending a sports event or a concert. Arup’s AV solution realises this vision through an extensive range of fully integrated AV infrastructure and systems, featuring centralised and networked control that enables rapid transitions between event types.

Key features include zero-latency LED walls for real-time broadcasting, instant replays and dynamic event visuals. The advanced public address system, with 35 clusters of line-array speakers, delivers exceptional sound clarity and uniform coverage across all 50,000 seats. More than 700 display screens are connected to the in-house AV broadcasting system with minimal latency for live feeds.

Designed with sustainability and flexibility in mind, the AV systems incorporate energy-efficient features and allow for future upgrades as technology evolves.

Since opening in March 2025, Kai Tak Stadium has already hosted numerous high-profile international sporting events and concerts, welcoming more than one million visitors. The venue is poised to play a significant role in the upcoming National Games in November 2025, demonstrating its role as Hong Kong’s premier destination for world-class sports and entertainment.

Kai Tak Stadium features 50,000 seats and provides many first-in-Hong Kong innovations.
