We can't wait to take full advantage of the new nonstop flight to Dublin! 🛩 🇮🇪 This is a major win for our community, opening doors to new business opportunities and partnerships in Ireland. We're especially excited to strengthen our ties with One-Zero and capitalize on the growing sports tech ecosystems in both cities.

"Ireland and Indianapolis have also become some of the fastest-growing markets for sports technology. Since 2017, Dublin has hosted the One-Zero Summit with a focus on strengthening the network for sports tech, demonstrating new products and tackling big industry topics like advancements in ticketing, fitness, betting and fan engagement. One-Zero has hosted a second event in Indianapolis since 2022, with the next iteration scheduled for Dec. 12-14. The partnership also involves Sports Tech HQ, an IEDC initiative that is housed by the Indiana Sports Corp with a focus on making Indianapolis one of the world’s biggest sports technology hubs. In March, Ireland-based startup Wiistream announced plans to establish its U.S. headquarters in Indianapolis, with the goal of having up to 20 people based here within the next few years."
