The World Football Summit Podcast E57: Creating Opportunities in Web3 - A Look at the Future of Fan Engagement w/ Robert Rice & Michal Glijer
In previous episodes, we talked about how the traditional sports business model is outdated. Broadcasting rights will not increase forever, commercial partnerships are looking into maximizing the ROI of every penny they invest, and matchday revenue has its limits because of capacity constraints.
In addition, there is always the lingering topic of monetizing the international fan.
How do you solve this?
Technology can definitely help and our two guests today, Robert Rice, Founder & CEO at Transmira & Founder & Michal Glijer CEO at Zetly, are gonna open our eyes to new possibilities.
Both organizations are focused on bringing Digital Twin Technology and the Metaverse to the world of football. During the conversation, we talk about:
- How these technologies help create new sources of revenue through fan engagement, and stadium revenues.
- Actual examples of how they are being used across the sports industry.
- How to approach digital transformation and change management.
- And, given they are entrepreneurs who started embracing these technologies since long ago, we had to ask about entrepreneurship, career, and overall leadership advice.
This was a blast and I got a whole new understanding of digital twin technology. Hopefully, you will as well!
Remember, WFS Europe is approaching (September 20-21), and we're excited to announce that both Robert and Mike will go into full detail on the WFS stage!
