The America’s Cup is the oldest event in International sports, and the highest prize in sailing. The America’s Cup World Series kicks off in Italy in April 2020, followed by a series of races around the world, and ending in the final match race in Auckland, New Zealand, in March, 2021.
Alain Lafourcade, President of Fischer Connectors’ North American subsidiary sponsoring American Magic, says Fischer Connectors is honored to be sponsoring one of the top sailing teams in the world. “This project says a lot about how our connectivity solutions stand up to extreme conditions. We cheer for the success of all our customers, and in this case, I’m looking forward to seeing what else we can do to help the team on their journey to New Zealand in 2021.” Jonathan Brossard, CEO of Fischer Connectors Group headquartered in Switzerland, adds: “Such a technological partnership shows how critically important connectivity is to contribute to technology performance in sports. It is also a great example of how we build relationships with our customers as we reimagine connectivity together to develop new solutions and enable future-oriented innovations.”
