What if the next big thing was not designed by Apple or Google?
What if the next big thing was actually not a big thing at all but finding small ways in which we could get the most from what is already available?
The next big thing could be all about learning from each other.
Technology is a wonderful enabler of bringing people together, people with a shared interest separated by a wall or an ocean but able to talk through technology and learn from each other.
Sport is perhaps the greatest common passion we share. Whether it is the thrill of victory, the pain of defeat, the effort of being competitive, or the fun of taking part, sport matters to us.
Technology through radio, television, the internet, HD, mobile and virtual reality has brought sport and its partner businesses closer to its fan base but it’s hard to point to one team, organisation or individual that is doing it to perfection.
Sport for Business is a new network which aims to bring together the best knowledge, the sharpest minds, the greatest passion and the most common sense to sport and business, firstly in Ireland where sport matters more than in most countries.
Wouldn’t it be great for business to get better reward from supporting sport?
Wouldn’t it be something for sport to better understand what makes it so alluring to commercial partners and so raise more independent funding?
Could it be possible for clubs to find their own centre of excellence on how to run their affairs, and leave more time for finding the stars of the future?
At Sport for Business we believe the answer is yes to all three.
