Skylight Consulting Expands into Europe

In a bold move aimed at enhancing its international presence, Skylight Consulting Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has inaugurated a new representative office in Barcelona, Spain, named "Skylight Consulting Europe." This expansion marks a significant step in the company's strategy to tap into the burgeoning sports business sector in Europe.

The Rationale Behind Expansion

The global sports business landscape has been rapidly transforming in recent years, necessitating cross-border collaborations to meet evolving client needs and adapt to changing market conditions. Europe has emerged as a central hub for finance, talent, and information within the sports industry, exerting considerable influence on the worldwide market.

In 2023, Skylight Consulting forged a partnership with the Spanish company, 4-Football, paving the way for more intensive local engagement. The firm has consistently provided strategic insights about women's football leagues and has actively participated in international dialogues, such as the "World Football Summit," showcasing its commitment to global discourse.

By establishing a base in Barcelona—one of Europe's key sports business centers—Skylight Consulting plans to leverage timely information on league management, emerging technologies, and fan engagement trends. This position will enhance the value provided to its clients while building strong relationships with major sports entities and key players across Europe. The aim is to function as a pivotal hub connecting the forefront of European sports to Japan and Asia, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the global sports industry.
