ACTUALIDAD
Ricardo Tormo Circuit, the first track
integrated into the Global Sports
Innovation Center’s network
Ricardo Tormo Circuit has become a part of the
Global Sports Innovation Center powered by
Microsoft, making it the first track to join the
Innovation Center.
This alliance promotes four main objectives. First, to assist the circuit’s digital transformation
through diverse management technologies amongst the GSIC network.
The fans will be the focus of the second objective: to improve the services offered before, during
and after each event, tailoring the facilities to enhance fan experience.
Their recently created Specialized Center for Motor Sport Technification which groups the two
driving schools of the Circuit – la Cuna de Campeones y la Fórmula de Campeones – with the driving
schools and road safety, is the agreement´s third objective.
Finally, in the long-term, the alliance with the GSIC will serve to transform the Ricardo Tormo
circuit into a ‘smart venue’ facility that will exceed the expectations of its users, clients and fans.

Iris Córdoba, general manager of the GSIC, has highlighted “the great value that it represents for
our Center´s entire ecosystem and the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to Ricardo Tormo
Race Circuit’s goal to be a pioneer in digital transformation with their facility characteristics.”
Intelligent management of social communication platforms, February 13th
At the conference held on February 13th, the
Global Sports Innovation Center members had the
opportunity to share their experiences and visions
regarding the SMM sector through the show cases
and to talk about how agencies, clubs and athletes
can maximize the use of social communication
platforms using the appropriate listening tools, so
they are a truly useful instrument for sports
organizations and for brands that invest in
advertising and sponsorships.
On this occasion we had the participation of Jesús
Serrano, Business Development Architect of
Microsoft Sport; Eduardo Gómez, CEO, and Juana
Morales, Social Media Manager at Bull
Comunicación; Miguel Ángel Cintas, Marketing
Director of Atribus; Andrés Sánchez, Director of
Customer Services at Viewmetric; and Mario
Ramírez, Business Development of Toools, who had contributed their vision on the state of the
matter in general and, in addition, carried out the analysis of the real cases they worked on in their
respective companies.

reality and business infrastructure, among others.
The attendees had the opportunity to know the conclusions of the report prepared by IDC on the
main technological keys that companies should consider in the future: by 2019 there will be a 42%
increase in spending aimed at the digital transformation and by 2021 at least 50% of world GDP
will have been digitized. Companies will continue to invest in both infrastructure and services, so
that more than 90% of companies will use services and platforms in the cloud.
