OUR PARTNERS We strive to unite academic rigor and practice. To accomplish this aim, we've established strategic partnerships with many of the large sport organizations in Sweden. They support us by providing data for our research, which we then disseminate through Executive Education programs, Strategic round table discussions and Sport Tech incubator programs.
