DkIT School of Informatics and Creative Arts supports STATSports in latest product launch

The School of Informatics and Creative Arts at Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) has announced an exciting collaboration with STATSports, the global leader in GPS performance tracking technology, for their latest product launch video series.

This collaboration will make use of DkIT's cutting edge 6K TV Studio facilities to create premium content for launching Apex 2.0, with STATSports generously donating a new camera jib to enhance the school’s production capabilities.

Sean O’Connor, Co-founder, STATSports said: “We have a long history and great relationship with DKIT. We were delighted to collaborate with them again for the launch of Apex 2.0. The facilities and crew on offer are first class, and allow us to meet the high standards that we expect of ourselves here at STATSports.”

Professor Fergal McCaffery, Head of School of Informatics and Creative Arts at DkIT stated:

"We sincerely appreciate STATSports' generous equipment donation to our Film and TV Studios at Dundalk Institute of Technology. Our longstanding partnership with STATSports through the School of Informatics and Creative Arts has yielded multiple successful research collaborations, including externally funded projects through Research Ireland, Horizon Europe and InterTradeIreland with our Regulated Software Research Centre. As a major employer of graduates across several of our programmes, STATSports demonstrates the real-world impact of our academic partnerships. This new equipment will directly enhance the learning experience for both students and lecturers in our Film and TV programme, and we look forward to many more years of productive collaboration."
