Kontakt.io Opens World'sFirst Beacon Showroom in Berlin
By Putting Leading Brands from the IoT Under One Roof, Kontakt.io Creates the Ultimate Beacon Experience
Berlin – October 18, 2016 – Beacon technology is rapidly
transforming the way we shop, attend events, track assets, plan
logistics and even explore art. Finally, there is a way to experience
all of these applications in one place. Kontakt.io, the world's
largest provider of beacon technology, today unveiled their new
livinglab – Proximity Studio. Launching on October 18th, the
Berlin Kreuzberg-based showroom will ultimately feature up to
one hundred different apps from major industries, providing
visitors with the opportunity to explore and test beacon use
cases. The new service is aimed at helping businesses interested
in understanding and buying global beacon apps find the right
solution.
"While the IoT market is growing massively, the whole ecosystem remains fragmented and fractured. Leveraging our position as the industry leaders through our Proximity Studio, we bring together all
parts of the beacon technology chain and help businesses cut down their average decision making time from nine months to a few weeks.”
says Philipp von Gilsa, Head of Growth at Kontakt.io
As the first of its kind, the showroom will also be open to the
public during the themed Proximity Studio events, providing a
unique environment where all tech enthusiasts, from business
professionals to students, can immerse themselves in the world
of Beacons and IoT.
Now, members of the dynamic tech scene in Berlin are just
minutes away from an up-close look at the world of possibilities
opened by proximity solutions. Guests will get hands-on time
with next-generation beacon hardware and detailed plans for
the applications that they support. Proximity Studio’s growing list
of Partners includes global brands such as T-systems, Proxama,
Indoors, Favendo, Xponia, Navigine and Menu AG.

"Today beacons are misunderstood - most businesses think of them as retail tools for sending coupons. Proximity Studio is our new channel for educating the
market on how businesses can leverage BLE devices across different markets including logistics, workspace management and healthcare. Berlin, with its business hubs, dynamic startup environment, and a need for innovative industrial IoT solutions, seems the perfect place to be,“
explains Szymon Niemczura, CEO at Kontakt.io.
Founded in 2013, Kontakt.io is an $8M venture-funded IoT
company based in Krakow and Berlin with over 90 team
members in four global offices. Today we serve 17,000 business
clients in 120+ countries around the word. With half a million
beacons sold in 2015 we are the world’s largest beacon hardware
vendor (2015, ABI Research).
