All students from the MSc in Sports Industry Management benefited from 2 learning trips these past weeks.

They first went to the French Alps, the main hub of the outdoor sports industry in Europe today. The region is an exceptional place for sports passionates and industry companies, hosting more than 300 sports brands. During their time in the French Alps students had privileged access to this specific professional network and discovered what working in the sports industry is all about through lectures, conferences etc.

Their second trip led them to Munich, host of the world-renowned international sports trade show ISPO welcoming about 2 700 exhibitors’ eager to present the latest sports technology and products to approximately 80 000 visitors from 110 countries. Not only they had the great opportunity to attend ISPO and be at the heart of the sports industry for a few days but they also visited a few of the world’s leading sporting brands such as adidas or the Bayern Munich.
