"CoreGo has become the infrastructure of choice for many of Europe’s most demanding live events. Its customer retention and ability to operate at scale demonstrate the strength of its offering. With open-loop payments still in the early stages of adoption across European live events, CoreGo is exceptionally well-positioned to lead that shift.
