Driven by an initiative from the CAB Institute, the Argentine Basketball Confederation and Sports Data Campus have signed a joint working agreement that will include the exchange of experiences and opportunities for professionals specialized in Big Data and Analytics. In this way, SDC graduates will be able to participate in different sports and institutional value proposals within the governing body of Argentine basketball.
In addition, CAB and SDC will work on a new joint academic offering that will be announced soon.
Alliance Between Sports Data Campus and the Argentine Basketball Confederation
David Sáez, CEO of Sports Data Campus, stated: “We would like to express our deepest gratitude to CAB for trusting our institution and the talent of our students to collaborate on immersive training projects linked to the real environment of professional basketball.
This agreement represents much more than an academic alliance: it is a shared commitment to innovation, talent development and the real-world application of knowledge in a sport with a rich history and a present full of opportunities. Thanks to this collaboration, our students will have the chance to work on applied projects within CAB’s digital and analytical ecosystem, contributing data-based solutions, cutting-edge technological tools and a strategic perspective on sporting performance, scouting and process optimization.”
“We are convinced that this synergy will generate a positive impact for both institutions and, above all, for Argentine sport, which continues to open its doors to the training of new generations of professionals prepared to lead digital transformation in high performance,” he added.
Verónica Rindone, HR and Education Manager at CAB, said: “This alliance is a fundamental step in our objective of connecting academic training with the demands of modern sport. At the CAB Institute, we believe in education as a driver of transformation, and the incorporation of tools such as analytics and Big Data into the world of basketball not only raises the professional standard, but also opens new opportunities for those who choose this path.
We are committed to education that has a direct impact on the development of Argentine sport, and this collaboration with Sports Data Campus is a concrete example of that commitment.”
