“Sport meets Corporate Finance”: When soccer and the world of finance meet
“Sport meets Corporate Finance”: When soccer and the world of finance meet
The fusion of sport and corporate finance may seem unusual at first glance, but at BLOK Management we are always looking for innovative ways to give entrepreneurs insights into the world of M&A. At an exclusive event for managing directors, shareholders and board members entitled “Sport meets Corporate Finance” on March 23rd at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, we had the opportunity to do just that. This event, in cooperation with our partners, not only offered insights into the world of professional soccer, but also exciting specialist presentations on current financial market topics. Together with Deniz Aytekin, we were able to shed light on the topic in depth. Deniz Aytekin is not only an experienced investor in companies such as anwalt.de and fitnessmarkt.de services GmbH, but is also DFB referee of the year 2022, among others. His diverse experiences and the fascinating parallels between the worlds of sport and entrepreneurship led to a stimulating exchange. We would also like to thank the other speakers, Carsten Peter, Michael Lamsa, Holger Clemens Hinz and Jens Otto, who actively supported us at this event. We would also like to thank our partners BANSBACH GmbH, Quirin Privatbank AG and Taylor Wessing, who made a significant contribution to the realization of this great event. We look forward to organizing similar events in other cities to further deepen the connection between sports and corporate finance. At BLOK Management, we always strive to shed light on the rapidly evolving world of corporate transactions in all its facets and provide our clients with innovative insights and solutions. We invite you to follow our future initiatives and events. Together, we are shaping the future of M&A and will support and guide you as experienced partners.
We are happy to advise you
