Event Summary

ASTN’s partnership with the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington in Seattle (USA) is continuing to provide export-ready sportstech businesses with significant input to their market research. A visiting group of university students from Seattle had the opportunity to meet Olly Timing founder, Ben Ramsden who shared his experience working with the University of Washington Consulting Association who have been collaborating with ASTN for the last 3 years (see ASTN Global Trade Mission).

"From a distance of 10,000 miles, it's very difficult to get a clear overview of a new market opportunity, let alone identify a credible market entry strategy. Throughout my career, I have worked in and with many short-term project teams formed from student groups to big-name consultancies. UW students have particularly excelled compared to others in their ability to identify, interview and summarise primary market research sources.”
