Koozyt was founded in July 2007 by members of Sony Computer Science Laboratories who developed PlaceEngine.
Our company motto is to “add more excitement to people, things and stories told in a city-wide community.” We develop
interactive events and technology solutions associated with urban development, tourism, and sports promotion. Our projects tackle the problem of indifference, which is seen as a key inhibitor to the creation of solutions for urban social problems. We will continue to seek innovative solutions in domains such as tourism, urban development, and health and wellness.
