Genius Sports opens new Lausanne office

Genius Sports, an international company specialised in sports data and technology, has opened a new office in the Maison du Sport International (MSI) in Lausanne, Switzerland, earlier this month. As a new addition to the unique sports ecosystem in Switzerland, Genius Sports will be able to enhance its offering to its European sports partners, some of which include International Federations based in the region.

The new expansion means Genius Sports now has offices in over 20 locations worldwide including London, Los Angeles and Medellin.

Steven Burton, Managing Director of Genius Sports, said: “For over 15 years, Genius Sports’ reputation has been built on forming long-term, trusted partnerships that meet the individual requirements of sports. Expanding into Lausanne will not only strengthen these existing partnerships but also drive our growth into new sports going forward.”

Switzerland is home to nearly 70 international sports organisations as well as 22 universities and 28 hospitality schools with courses which impact sport. Approximately 300 NGOs are located in the Geneva region, with many of them using sport as a tool for reaching development goals; as does the United Nations, which has several agencies based in Geneva. Additionally, there are a large number of commercial organisations in the region working within sport, with most of them being small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The Foreign Direct Investment Agency of Canton of Vaud (DEV), in close collaboration with the Swiss Business Hub UK & Ireland and ThinkSport has actively supported Genius Sports in their establishment in the Olympic Capital Lausanne.
