The Company is already a global partner of
Formula 1 to elevate their digital experiences both for racing
teams and fans and makes Williams its first team partnership in the
sport
BUENOS
AIRES, Argentina , Aug. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Williams Racing is proud to
announce a new partnership with leading digital transformation
company and long-running Colapinto's sponsor, Globant.
The New York Stock Exchange-listed organisation, with more than
29,100 employees and presence in 33 countries, is already a global
partner of Formula 1 to elevate their digital experiences both for
racing teams and fans and makes Williams its first team partnership
in the sport.
Founded in Argentina, Globant
has moved quickly to join forces with Williams following the
announcement that Franco Colapinto
will drive for the team alongside Alex
Albon for the rest of the 2024 season and as the team
prepares to welcome Spaniard Carlos Sainz for 2025. Globant has
supported Franco in his F2 campaign and becomes a partner on the
eve of the Italian Grand Prix where he will become the first
Argentine driver in F1 for 23 years.
The partnership with Williams expands Globant's work with elite
sports organisations, like Formula 1, FIFA, and the LA Clippers,
with a focus on bringing fans closer to the action by applying the
latest technology to digital experiences.
Globant is another major partner to join Williams in 2024 as the
team continues its transformation on and off track in pursuit of
World Championship success. Since the turn of the year the team has
also unveiled new partnerships with Komatsu, Keeper Security and
VAST Data, and renewed its relationship with Jumeirah Hotels and
Resorts.
Martin Migoya, Co-founder and
CEO, Globant: "We are proud to join Williams Racing, an icon of
one of the world's most technologically advanced sports globally.
We love dreamers and Franco
Colapinto has made his dream come true through his talent,
determination and hard work. Now that he has earned a seat at
Formula 1 we want to keep supporting him and the team that nurtured
him along the way. As Latin
America's largest technology company serving the global
market, we are committed to transforming the sports industry,
providing solutions to bring fans closer to the game, and elevating
every experience".
James Vowles, Team
Principal: "I am delighted to welcome Globant to Williams
Racing as Argentina prepares to
mark its latest milestone in Formula 1. This partnership unites two
organisations driven by innovation and a passion to provide
unrivalled experiences for fans, and we are looking forward to
working together starting this weekend in Monza."
