Oxynade combines unique patent pending search techniques combined with an international editorial office to provide a global comprehensive events database.
The company monitors thousands of local and global websites to get the latest information on festivals, sport events, cultural happenings and a wide range of other events around the globe.
Oxynade’s comprehensive database is used by cultural and touristic departments, companies, online service providers, travel agencies and others to offer their audience localized and up to date information on cultural events.
The company was founded when two likeminded entrepreneurs came together to realize their shared dream: collect all information on events, available both online and offline, and unleash that information to the audience to provide both young and old with the most complete cultural agenda, so each can personalize and enjoy its leisure time.

Happenr.com lets you search events of any size, whether they’re hyper-local (e.g. in the street you live) or at a large venue. You can look up any event in Europe by location, date and/or category. Advanced RSS feeds allow people to subscribe to specific search queries in their favorite reader, enabling them to remain up-to-date about the event categories, organizers or venues that they’re most interested in. In a few weeks, we’ll make it possible for events to be easily exported to online calendars with the iCal standard, printed or e-mailed to a friend.
Happenr.com features easy-to-use web controls which enables anyone to embed the search box or specific search results into their own portal, website or blog, free of charge. There’s also an Application Programming Interface (API) available for developers who would like to use the Happenr database of event information for their own projects or applications. This redistribution of high-quality content is particularly useful for large travel portals and social networks, online media publications, the cultural sector and the travel industry as a whole (hotels, airline companies, tourist agencies, etc.).
Evidently, our data and application lends itself perfectly for mobile devices, particularly those with location-awareness built in. Our free Apple iPhone application, which has yet to be approved for the App Store at this point, has already won us a Bronze Award for best location-based search application at the Mobile Search Awards in London (September 2008).
