Also, Mr. Ji has also been instrumental in creating additional commercial table tennis products to promote table tennis globally, with the Chinese national being the visionary behind the new T2 APAC table tennis league which was launched this year.

“I am honoured to be appointed as the Special Advisor to the ITTF President. Together with my company Seamaster, I will try my utmost to contribute on the development of table tennis and make our sport more energetic and exciting to draw more younger generation into the game. I am happy to work with the ITTF who are capable enough to create a better environment for table tennis. I hope Seamaster could strengthen the collaborations with the ITTF in different aspects, including with T2 in a more commercial way.” Frank Ji

“I would like to personally thank Frank for his commitment, passion and belief in table tennis and the ITTF over our fruitful relationship over the last 24 months. Frank is a business visionary and I could not think of a better person to be advising me on how to develop ITTF’s commercial and business interests in his new position. I look forward to our relationship flourishing more and together taking table tennis to new heights.” Thomas Weikert

Mr. Weikert and Mr. Ji will hold their first meeting to discuss new strategies to develop the commercial aspects of table tennis during the Seamaster 2017 World Tour Grand Finals to be held in Astana, Kazakhstan from Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th December.
