Edgewood Services’ engineers had the honor to participate in the opening ceremony of Kyiv Olympic Stadium built for the Uefa Euro 2012 final. Together with pyrotechnists from Didzhereffects company, we organized fantastic fireworks show using ActionBase Fireworks system, a hardware-software complex designed by our developers.  About 60 000 viewers enjoyed this spectacular show!     

The opening ceremony took place on October 8, 2011. The President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, government leaders, sports stars, football clubs owners and other VIP guests attended this solemn event.

A large team of professionals worked to create spectacular fireworks displays, organized with the help of latest computer technologies. Our engineers consulted and helped to install the ActionBase Fireworks system – hardware and software complex, designed especially for the large-scale shows. This system allows not only to create original fireworks scenarios in sync with music. It also gives opportunity to view the future fireworks in real-time, showing broad panorama of the area on the screen of PC. Thus, the opening ceremony on the stadium ended with a complex pyrotechnic show over the heads of excited audience.
