From the Champs Elysées to the Atacama desert

Development
Towards new horizons
With new events, new sports and a foothold in new countries, the portfolio of activities proposed by ASO is getting longer every year. This growth is in line with the organisation’s pro-active expansion strategy that focuses on international development. Its development teams are specialised in the detailed analysis and study of potential opportunities: concept, business model, strategic relevance, risk evaluation, negotiation with partners etc… After the priority projects are selected, the teams put them into place and follow them up internally from the moment a business plan is selected, up to the point when the new event begins.
