Today we announce the 10th Top 10 shortlist of the Most Attractive Employers in Sport 2023 Survey: The Top 10 Sports Tech Companies.
Sports Tech companies play an integral role in enhancing the exciting and dynamic sports environment for athletes, teams, fans, event organizers and all other stakeholders across the sports industry. There is considerable focused effort on increasing the distribution of sports content and enhancing the viewing experience for fans, as such we find companies like DAZN, Eleven Sports, OneFootball and Hawk-Eye on the list. Sports data is another big area of focus. Three of the sports data major players - Genius Sports, Sportradar and Stats Perform all are on the list. Fanatics, the sports-focused retailer that is now expanding into betting, collectibles and gaming made the Top 10 as well. Socios.com, focused on blockchain applications in the sports world, as well as the consumer-focused activity tracking company Strava round out the Top 10.
The list is the result of a study conducted by iWorkinSport, which surveyed more than 1,500 people from all continents, with the majority already working in sport, and asked them a simple question: “If you could choose to work anywhere in sport, where would that be?”
At first, the respondents chose organisations divided into ten categories and, at the end, they indicated one single preferred choice, overall – the “Employer of their Dreams”.
The final rankings of the iWorkinSport Most Attractive Employers 2023 will be announced at an Awards ceremony at the Olympic Museum, in Lausanne, on June 1st, at a VIP dinner offered to recruiters and academic partners of the iWorkinSport Job Fair, which will take place the following day in Lausanne.
