Stats Perform and K-Sport Agree to Long-Term Partnership Extension
BOLOGNA, Italy, LONDON and CHICAGO, Oct. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Stats Perform, the sports tech leader in data and AI Technology, has today announced an extension to its agreement with K-Sport, who will continue to be part of Stats Perform's SPIN network for another four years. The partnership, which first started in 2015, provides player wearable solutions to more than 200 teams across professional football and rugby.
The extended partnership will see Stats Perform act as the exclusive sales agent in Europe for K-Sport systems, including its next-generation K-AI Wearable Tech, and its supporting athlete monitoring software, Dynamix. The collaboration will also see both parties work together to develop and enhance existing wearable solutions, which will include the integration of optical tracking data, captured from Stats Perform's SportVU system, into a new Dynamix Live platform.
