MindArk Partners With CKI For Thai Expansion

-Architectural design firm Creative Kingdom will build an entire planet within Entropia Universe. The collaboration is significant as it's part of the firm's expansion into Thailand, where it will build a film, television and technology production complex called Cyber City.

The $250 million Cyber City project is underwritten by the Thai government, as well as a consortium of entrepreneurs. There's enthusiasm there for continuing development in entertainment and technology, and Robles LLC, the firm owned by CKI CEO Eduardo Robles, will also develop a movie based on the new Entropia Universe planet, co-produced by CKA Starlight Studios Beijing, and Korea's Dabok Entertainment Co. to be released in 2010.

Said MindArk CIO Marco Behrmann, "This long-term partnership with CKI is the perfect match for Mindark. It further proves the viability of the Entropia Universe platform as the foundation of creating entertaining and exciting online virtual experiences, as well as giving our partners access to a very secure, proven and stable system for handling real cash transactions within a MMORG," Mindark CIO Marco Behrmann informs.
