Dow Jones has been announced as the Top Media Partner at the SportAccord Convention in Lausanne in April 2016, where sports rights holders, organising committees, media and business meet to connect and engage. TSC worked with Dow Jones on the development of Dow Jones Sports Intelligence, the first sports specific due diligence service and is now engaged in supporting Dow Jones in taking the service to market.
Commenting on the partnership with SportAccord, Simon Greenberg, Global Head of Rights at News Corp, and leading the Dow Jones Sports Intelligence team said:
“SportAccord Convention is where the decision makers in world sport meet each year to debate the major issues. The business of sport is a compelling arena for Dow Jones, and in particular Dow Jones Sports Intelligence, the first sports specific due diligence service, which we established in 2015 to assist the sporting world to meet the challenges of transparency, compliance and good governance.
“It’s a time of great change in world sport as the industry drives forward to improve confidence by enhanced self-regulation. Dow Jones Sports Intelligence plays a vital role to research, verify and validate any counterparty relationship in the sports industry stakeholder chain.”
