Trade Partnerships

Become A Partner

We offer resource rich opportunities for ‘ready-to-scale‘ sports technology companies seeking landing-pad services in the most connected sports ecosystems across the world. Our partners offer startup scaling and growth efficiencies in three partner categories – ecosystem partners, service partners, and affiliate partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a non-profit?

No, our trade activities are for-profit. However, we have plans to spin-off our education institute as a not-for-profit subsidiary of the association. US-based for-profit organizations are not limited by federal tax or legal restrictions pertaining to the allocation of profits. Non-profits are restricted in how they can acquire and utilize funds.

We share revenue co-op agreements, similar to a limited duration partnership model, and also deliver profits to its equity stakeholders.

How do you create programs or services?

We do not launch programs without expansion, service, or affiliate partner activation. This means that we pitch programs to our internal partners and to our select corporate members as an association of stakeholders. All pitches include a financial model while programs must clearly benefit our stakeholders.

We are merely a vessel for global growth and prosperity – for select partners and corporate members.

Do you work with conference organizers?

We offer conference organizers two types of relationships, but only if the relationship benefits our stakeholders. Event marketers may list their event on our association calendar or they can form a stronger relationship as formal service partners with deeper access to our network.

Education is major attribute we seek to clarify in conference programming. Ask us!

Ecosystem Partners

We invite Regional Centers of Innovation interested in landing-pad creation for global inbound trade initiatives but also for homegrown resources in exclusive geographic locations. Our Ecosystems Partners create the definitive network resources for sports districts, entertainment zones, or innovation centers around the world.

Preferred Ecosystem Partners have existing network attributes to include voices from government or industry trade offices, traditional sports assets, university workforce or research interests, accelerator or investment entities, and nonprofit community organizations. We are equipped to engage with private commercial interests who have a desire to formalize new investments.

Service Partners

We amplify Service Partner strategies by connecting valuable services or products with our select Corporate Members. All Corporate Members have been accepted into their choice of strategic programs. As a Service Partner, your products and services are offered to our Members via their specific program. In other words, we are an effective sales channel for Service Partners. Consider a different marketing approach to put your brand or services in front of targeted high growth sports markets.

Our preferred Service Partners are business-to-business infrastructure, legal, or financial companies offering a benefit to our expansion network.

Affiliate Partners

All partners provide service excellence for our valuable network which encompass small to medium sized businesses entering a scaling phase or significant traction growth stage. We encourage sports federations, global leagues, or teams to reach out for ways to impact innovation strategies through our network resources as Affiliate Partners.

Our Affiliate Partner mission is to empower sports leaders to embrace data, software, devices, medicine, and engineering innovations for the betterment of brands, fans, and athletes. We are always interested in building cross-culture cross-sport education and innovation programs.
