SPORTS TECH TOKYO webinar: Quickly catch up on global business trends centered around sports tech. Following the first session attended by approximately 400 participants, we are pleased to announce the second installment.

This session's theme is "How Technology is Transforming Global Viewing Experiences and Business Impact."

In 2020, COVID-19 forced major transformations on the global sports business. Postponements and cancellations of events, hosting matches without spectators (remote matches), and other changes forced fundamental shifts in the core of sports business, and a full recovery has yet to be achieved.

However, globally, there are startups rapidly growing by effectively leveraging technology in this environment. Activity is particularly vibrant in the "viewing experience" domain, where unprecedented methods, presentation styles, and ways to entertain are continuously emerging worldwide.

This webinar will catch up on these new global trends from both macro and micro perspectives. We will explore the business outlook for the "viewing experience" sector, examining business expansion cases in Japan alongside the trends among consumers—the very people experiencing these viewings.
