Back in 2017, Prof. Dr. Alfons Madeja - founder of the Bundesliga Barometer and Managing Director of SLC Management (SLC) - was the initiator of the Bundesliga Future Summit together with partners TÜV Rheinland (host partner) and Sport Bild (media partner) - Europe's highest-circulation sports magazine. The invitation was taken up by big names from the world of sport such as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Dr. Reinhard Rauball (see picture), as well as representatives from business, politics and media, to discuss forward-looking topics relating to the Bundesliga. While Professor Madeja and the SLC positioned themselves early on as trendsetters with a far-sighted view, the scenario of a global virus paralyzing the Bundesliga and the world of sports was not part of the discussion at the time.

The topic of sustainability and climate protection is also becoming increasingly prominent in the Bundesliga. As the exclusive Data Intelligence Partner of Stadionwelt, SLC Management surveyed more than 5,000 fans on the topic of climate protection in the Bundesliga as part of the Stadionwelt theme series "Sustainable Resource Management".
