Blend, a provider of data and AI solutions, is the partner of the Otten Innovation Cup 2024. PSV has been working with this global data consulting company for some time.
Blend is currently developing an AI scouting tool called "ScoutBot" that they are presenting during the tournament. Blend creates value together with leading companies by integrating data, advanced analytics, technology and people.
With an expert team of award-winning data engineers, data scientists, BI consultants and strategists, they are trusted partners helping people use data and AI the right way. Blend was recently nominated for the 2024 British Data Award and a DataIQ Award for their work in the sports sector.
Will Boyle, SVP Global Head of Growth at Blend, is pleased to announce the ScoutBot. "We are very excited to partner with PSV for the Otten Innovation Cup. Our AI scouting tool is a gamechanger for football clubs, providing them with accurate, data-driven insights that streamline the scouting process and improve player evaluation. This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to leveraging data and AI to drive innovation in sports. We look forward to demonstrating ScoutBot at the tournament and continuing our successful partnership with PSV."
AI tool
In partnership with PSV, Blend is currently developing an AI tool that evaluates and displays players using data. Looking for a left back with high speed, a good cross and who played every game last season at the highest level? Blend's ScoutBot filters and selects candidates based on such searches, saving scouts valuable time and money by helping them efficiently identify and value players.
For Blend, the Otten Innovation Cup is the place to showcase their work to the world. From Atlético Madrid to Manchester United, major clubs will visit PSV Campus De Herdgang during the prestigious tournament, where innovation is the top priority at the time. The collaboration between Blend and PSV goes beyond the AI tool, as Blend continuously supports PSV Academy with data analytics.
