Sports technology companies in Northern Ireland are scoring major financial wins, as the region becomes a hub for investment and innovation in this high-growth sector. Join company founders as they discuss how they have navigated issues around raising venture capital, valuing their business, and positioning themselves for acquisition and / or investment.

This event will showcase both established and emerging local companies at different stages in the business lifecycle, and panel members will share their stories and challenges they’ve faced from a business and financial perspective.

Panel Chair – Eoin McMullan – Chartered Accountant, Partner at Hill Vellacott, Member of Queen’s Senate, Chair of Convocation.

Andrew Trimble – Senior Director of Athlete Performance, Teamworks. 

Dr Brian Smith – Head of International Growth, NBC Sports Next.

Mark Shields – Founder and CEO of Taka.

Naomi McGregor – Founder and CEO of Movetru.

Whether you’re an accountant, entrepreneur, a tech enthusiast, or simply passionate about the intersection of sports and technology, this is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the conversation and stay connected with Queen’s global network.

While this event is open to all we are particularly encouraging Queen's Business School graduates from Accounting and Finance pathways to come along to meet some familiar faces and strengthen their networks.

The event has been organised in association with Convocation - the voice of graduates at Queen's.
