Impulse Network - Bridging the Gap between Academia and the Sports Industry

Interviewing Benedikt Jonas Dunse on today’s episode of the SportsTech All Stars Podcast, CEO of the St. Gallen-based Impulse Network, the student-driven not-for-profit movement, founded in 2017 to create impulses for change in the sports industry. Specifically, the Impulse Network set out with the mission to bridge the gap between academia and the sports industry. Having gained a lot of traction in the last years, the network now hosts two main events annually: the Impulse Summit and the Startup Selection. With the intention of giving young professionals and companies access to the sports industry, selected startups will hold a pitch in front of an audience and a jury of investors—this process comprises the Startup Selection. The winner is then selected to participate in the physical event a week later, the Impulse Summit—a space for inter-generational discussion between students and leaders within the sports industry. We are happy to announce that we as SportsTechX will again be joining forces with the Impulse Network this year to moderate and host the Startup Selection! This will be held next week, October 14th, on the topic of Sleep, Nutrition and recovery, and NFTs; the best news is that there is still time to sign up for the event! It is online and it is free: https://www.airmeet.com/e/390ea370-278f-11ec-ae56-1950d9a071b3 Tune in to learn more about Benedikt, the Impulse Network, and the exciting projects in the pipeline!
