Innovation Fueled By Technology
(Sports Tech Innovation Summit, London November 2013)
Welcome to the innovation economy. In today's world knowledge, technology, entrepreneurship and innovation are the currency of sustainable growth. More than ever technology enables us to turn knowledge into more meaningful and human centric ideas. Specialized is one of the most innovative and successful cycling brands in the world. I will share my insights of how technology enables us to add and create value for the rider and to stay relevant in the age of empowered consumers. Integrating new technology and use of digital infrastructure accelerates all areas of our business. Founded in Silicon-Valley "by riders for riders" Specialized is focused on delivering a performance benefit for all riders. We live by "Innovate or die" since 1974.
