Pragence Forms Sponsorship with Waseda University Men's Volleyball Team
In a significant step for both Pragence and Waseda University, the tech company has announced its sponsorship of the university's men's volleyball team through the Waseda University Competitive Sports Center. This collaboration is set to enhance the visibility of the team and support its athletes as they strive for excellence on and off the court.
A New Chapter for Waseda Volleyball
Pragence’s logo will feature prominently on the team's uniforms, debuting at the upcoming
78th Prince Chichibu Memorial Volleyball Tournament, which kicks off on December 1st. This sponsorship signifies more than just brand placement; it embodies a partnership rooted in shared values of perseverance, youth empowerment, and innovation.
The allure of the Waseda men's volleyball team lies in its unique culture, where the ethos of continuous challenge is mirrored in the core beliefs of Pragence. The team operates under a model that places students at the forefront, from the management roles to playing on the court. This student-led approach deeply resonated with Pragence's own commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and initiative among its engineers. Both entities strive for progress, breaking boundaries, and achieving potential.
A Vision of Support and Growth
Pragence aims to support student-athletes in maximizing their capabilities and motivating them to reach new heights in their careers. This sponsorship is anchored in the belief that today's promising youth can transcend expectations and pave the way for tomorrow’s success stories. The partnership not only provides resources but also nurtures an environment where athletes can challenge themselves while inspiring the community around them.
