The Impulse Network is run by the Sports Business Club at the University of St. Gallen. A team of volunteering students offers students of the sports industry a non-profit platform to take part in an international and inter-generational exchange to shape the future of the industry. We bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical experience in the sports business. Furthermore, we aim to help and prepare young talents for a career in the sports industry by building the awareness of this profession and offering a wide range of initiatives, networking events and resources in collaboration with leading firms in the sports business.
Next to smaller formats throughout the year, we concentrate our efforts on our flagship event Impulse Summit and want you to join us on this adventurous but very rewarding journey.

We use our different events to give varying people interested in the sports business a platform to take part in an intergenerational exchange. We have the Impulse Summit or this year the Impulse Week as our flagship events. We also have workshops with some of our partners, where we visit their headquarters and develop solutions for emerging problems together. In our industry projects we consult companies over a longer period of time to develop and create ideas and solutions. Finally, for our fellow students at the University of St. Gallen we offer events on campus such as the annual foosball tournament.
