Each Tuesday the Sport for Business Sports Tech Corner highlights areas in the development of sport and technology that are relevant to the commercial world of Irish sport and the sporting interests of Irish business. The Sport for Business Sports Tech Corner is supported by our friends in AIB.

INTEL BRING NEW VIEW TO CLASICO
Last Weekend’s Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona brought viewers a brand new perspective on the game, much more in keeping with how they see games unfold on a Playstation or X Box.
Intel have been running 3D imaging on NBA and Major League Baseball through this season but this was a first in football with high end 5K cameras installed all around the ground capturing images in every way imaginable.
The impact on how we watch games, how they are coached and how they are understood by players will be profound, and yet the novelty is almost gone from having seen the same in gaming over such an extended period.

A SPORTS TECH ACCELERATOR FOR DUBLIN?
Sport for Business will host a gathering of different individuals interested in the prospects of a new Sports Accelerator for Dublin at the development offices of Tickets.ie on Wednesday December 14th to explore how this might look.
We want to investigate the creation of a programme that could bring together early stage companies in the health and lifestyle sector with partners that can help them scale.
Could one of the ideas to emerge be a Sports Hackathon in Ireland, based around the Six Nations in Rugby, the All Ireland Finals in GAA or Qualifiers for the World Cup in Soccer? Or could one of our retail companies explore new technology that has yet to break through?
