SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, June 10, 2021 - Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection headquartered in Schaffhausen and Singapore, today announced the official partnership with Kadetten Schaffhausen Handball Team, extending its commitment to supporting the Canton of Schaffhausen through business investments and community initiatives.
Kadetten is a dominant handball team in Switzerland, competing in the Swiss First League of Handball and boasting an impressive record of eleven national league titles with the home court at the BBC Arena. Kadetten is the first team in Switzerland to build a professional handball arena, which gave the team international recognition and great scope for hospitality services and VIP treatment.
Acronis will enjoy prominent branding at the BBC Arena during the games, and use the facility to hold international events both for Acronis and the Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT), both of which were founded by Singaporean entrepreneur, scientist and educator, Serg Bell.
"We are looking at different approaches for Acronis and SIT to utilise the BBC Arena space," said David Graubner, CEO of Kadetten and team manager. "With Acronis' and SIT's headquarters in Schaffhausen, this partnership presents an effective way to show support for the local community. We can guarantee a lot of visibility both in Schaffhausen and in Switzerland, and through Acronis' extensive sports partnership portfolio, Kadetten will enjoy global exposure. It's a mutually beneficial partnership."
