Established in 2013, PUSH and its team has been both fortunate and unfortunate as one of the early sport technology startups to spring up as the smartphone and MEMS revolutions were taking hold. The transformation over the past 5 years in the field of Sport Technology has been astounding to see and the pace of change is only accelerating. In this talk, Rami will share his thoughts and opinions on some of the opportunities and challenges that currently face technology companies operating in the field of Sport.

Founder of Push, Rami's true passions lie at the intersection of sport and technology. Motivated by his own experiences as an athlete and witnessing the potential that technology can unlock in sport and athletes at all levels, Rami set out on his journey to launch Push in 2013 and hasn't looked back since.
