Trosmic Sports Announces 'Flux Halo'
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trosmic Sports today announced conceptual plans for Flux Halo, a next-generation indoor stadium that aspires to redefine live entertainment and sporting experiences in the GCC. Underpinned by USD 1 billion in available Japanese equity, Flux Halo represents a bold step toward creating one of the most technologically advanced and culturally impactful arenas in the world.
While the final location remains under consideration within the GCC, Flux Halo is being positioned as a flagship venue to rival global icons such as London's O2 Arena and New York's Madison Square Garden.
With a target opening in mid-2030, Flux Halo is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 spectators within a fully configurable bowl, seamlessly shifting between football matches, basketball games, other sporting events, concerts, esports tournaments, and large-scale conventions. The stadium will feature 200,000 m² of column-free interior space, capped by a 75,000 m² retractable tensile roof to allow events to proceed comfortably year-round. Kotetsu Yamamoto, Chief Creative Director on the project, describes Flux Halo's signature Möbius-inspired ribbon form as 'an architectural embodiment of perpetual motion.'
Wrapped in a 50,000 m² programmable LED mesh, the exterior will double as a digital canvas for immersive light shows, branding campaigns, and real-time statistics. The architecture of FLUXHALO is inspired by the crown of Athena – the goddess of wisdom and war, and the guardian of heroes across all sports.
Kotetsu Yamamoto, Chief Creative Director, Flux Halo 'Flux Halo was never meant to be just a stadium,' said Yamamoto. 'It's a visual statement and a modular system that adapts to the evolving culture around it.'
George Kunihiro, Director of Architecture & Planning, adds that 'solar-harvesting LEDs, AI-driven climate control and rainwater-recycling systems will drive net-zero energy operations,' a benchmark few indoor arenas worldwide have achieved.
The announcement comes at a time when GCC nations are accelerating their efforts to diversify their economies beyond hydrocarbons, with billions being channelled into tourism, culture, and live entertainment events infrastructure. From Qatar's World Cup-ready venues and Abu Dhabi's Louvre and F1 Circuit to Saudi Arabia's emerging cultural calendar, the region is increasingly positioning itself as a global hub. Yet, few concepts rival Flux Halo in scale, flexibility, or technological ambition.
'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape the next great venue of our time,' said Vaibhav Sharma, Chairman of Trosmic Sports. 'Flux Halo isn't just about entertainment, it's about regional pride, innovation, and creating something that leaves a legacy.'
Equity remains open to both regional and international investors. Ekta Nirmalkar, a Trosmic board director, notes that the venue's diversified revenue streams, from luxury suites and ticketing to retail and naming rights, are projected to generate robust & recurring returns across a 10-year horizon. 'With an anticipated 10 million visitors annually, Flux Halo is engineered for both cultural impact and commercial success,' she said.
Ankur Tandon, Board Director with over 15 years of experience in finance with American banks, joins the leadership team with a focus on operational execution. His background in accounting, mergers, and global strategy brings practical oversight to the project's broader ambitions.
Rohit Kumar, Director at Trosmic Sports, brings multi-sector leadership experience in institutional capital and cross-border business development. His role will focus on guiding long-term growth strategy for Flux Halo, with an emphasis on sustainable expansion and investor alignment.
To build momentum and finalise design elements, Mr. Yamamoto and Mr. Kunihiro will lead a Japanese delegation to the UAE from June 29 to July 7, holding private briefings and exploratory site visits in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh.
With its blend of cutting-edge design, immersive digital architecture, and future-focused financial strategy, Flux Halo is more than a venue. It's a vision of the GCC's next chapter, one built on ambition, innovation, and global resonance.

Ausdia Solves Critical Design Flow Gap with OneSource Constraint Translation at DAC 2025
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ausdia, the leading provider of design constraints verification and management solutions, today introduced Timevision TM OneSource, at DAC 2025, the Chips to Systems Conference. Timevision OneSource addresses a critical challenge facing modern SoC design teams while maintaining the integrity and usability of hand-crafted timing constraints after optimization tools perform aggressive transformations on chip designs. The OneSource technology addresses the fundamental challenge created by modern optimization engines that dissolve hierarchies, restructure interfaces, duplicate elements, and perform advanced transformations like flop banking and cloning. These optimizations, while delivering significant PPA improvements, render original programmatic SDC constraints unusable in their original form. "The shift-left methodology has led design teams to create sophisticated, programmable constraint files that map correctly and consistently on their original RTL designs," said Sam Appleton, Ausdia CEO. "However, when optimization tools restructure hierarchies, merge flops, and clone elements to achieve better PPA, those golden constraints no longer map to the transformed design. OneSource solves this critical gap by automatically translating source constraints to work seamlessly with post-optimization netlists." Automated Constraint Translation Without Manual Intervention Timevision OneSource enables design teams to retain their golden, hand-written SDC constraints throughout the entire design flow. The technology automatically generates a new version of block-level constraints that can be used for full-chip signoff, eliminating the time-consuming and error-prone manual constraint adaptation process that is plaguing post-optimization flows. OneSource maintains two critical capabilities that design teams require: Porting source-form constraints so engineers have full confidence in their signoff checks, and automatically generating chip-level constraints for the post-optimization database without designer intervention. Key Benefits of OneSource: Automated translation: Eliminates manual constraint adaptation after optimization Source preservation: Maintains readable, understandable constraint files for design signoff Full-chip compatibility: Automatically generates constraints compatible with post-optimization netlists Quality assurance: Provides verification and validation of constraint translation accuracy Design flow integration: Seamlessly bridges pre- and post-optimization environments "OneSource represents a breakthrough in constraint management technology," Appleton said. "Design teams no longer need to choose between achieving optimal PPA through advanced optimization and maintaining clean, understandable constraints. Our solution delivers both automatically." Comprehensive Integration with Timevision Platform OneSource integrates seamlessly with the existing Timevision platform, leveraging its comprehensive timing constraints development, verification, and management capabilities. The platform continues to support more than 1 billion cells and thousands of clocks, integrating with all aspects of the design flow from pre-synthesis through signoff timing. About Timevision Ausdia's Timevision platform offers a unique approach to timing constraints development and management, addressing key challenges in AI and large SoC designs, including memory consumption and performance optimization. Ausdia is showcasing the enhanced Timevision platform, including the new OneSource technology, in booth #2429 at DAC, The Chips to Systems Conference, held at Moscone West, San Francisco, from June 22-25 2025. About Ausdia Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Ausdia delivers standout timing constraint development, verification, and management solutions that complement all implementation and timing signoff flows.
