Evolv Expands Presence in College Sports with Addition of Carolina Athletics

About this update from Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc.

Evolv Express® deployed at all entrances to Dean E. Smith Center, Kenan Stadium, and other events on the campus of the University of North Carolina WALTHAM, Mass., February 10, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that its flagship product, Evolv Express®, has been deployed at Dean E. Smith Center, Kenan Stadium, and select special events at Carmichael Arena. The historic venues are home to the North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball, football, and women’s basketball teams. In total, 9 dual lane, and 5 single lane Evolv Express Gen2 systems have been deployed, providing advanced entry screening at all fan entrances to the venues.

The systems were used most recently at the Tar Heels’ Men’s Basketball victory over rival Duke University, which was watched by a sellout crowd of 21,750 at the Dean E. Smith Center. The systems were first used at the Tar Heels’ football home opener on September 1, 2025, where a sell-out crowd welcomed the 2025 team to the field. Concurrent with the deployment, Evolv has been designated as the "Official Fan Screening Partner of Carolina Athletics."
