An Olympic-winning coach will speak at BusinessCloud’s FUEL Manchester 2024 event on 16th October.

As the head of sprint performance for the Netherlands cycling team, Mehdi Kordi played a pivotal role in its multiple gold-winning performances at this month’s Paris Olympics.

Now the highly-acclaimed performance coach and scientist will be providing his unique insights on achieving success and the lessons that business can learn from sport at FUEL Manchester.

He’ll be joined by Dr Richard Whittle, University of Salford’s expert in artificial intelligence and digital transformation, who has been seconded to advise on Manchester’s Digital Strategy.

Manchester has the largest UK AI ecosystem outside of London and the strategy is crucial in maximising the potential of AI.
