Korea South, 29th May 2025, – Seoul, South Korea — In the growing intersection of sports and artificial intelligence, FastPong is emerging as a transformative force. Developed by Iranian-born Amir Kamandi, a former junior national table tennis player and Dr. Kie Brooks an AI expert from the UK. FastPong is an AI-powered, interactive training system that brings professional-level coaching and performance analytics to players of all levels — without the need for a coach.
By combining IoT hardware with intelligent software, FastPong allows solo players to enhance their training through real-time visual stimuli and data feedback. The system features a responsive LED target board and a Bluetooth-connected mobile app that tracks user progress, highlights weaknesses, and recommends tailored training routines. “FastPong is built on the belief that everyone should have access to high-quality training,” said Kamandi. “Our mission is to empower self-driven growth and deeper engagement in sport through personalized AI tools.”
A significant technological challenge — delivering precise feedback without interrupting the high-speed rhythm of table tennis — was successfully addressed through FastPong’s rapid detection and feedback engine. Kamandi recalls a powerful moment during the COVID-19 pandemic, when a young athlete trained entirely on his own using only the FastPong system from the country side where access to high quality coaches and partners are difficult, reinforcing its practical value.
“It’s a meeting point of tradition and innovation,” Kamandi explained. “FastPong harnesses data-driven feedback to sharpen focus and improve performance — whether you’re an amateur or elite athlete.”
While designed for sports training, FastPong’s potential applications extend to education, rehabilitation, and cognitive training. Its real-time feedback and sensor-based stimuli are well-suited for use in physical therapy, senior care, and developmental programs for children. South Korea played a critical role in FastPong’s development.
“Korea’s tech-savvy sports culture was a natural fit for us,” Kamandi said. “Initiating in South Korea and being part of South Korea stratup eco system gave us capital, office space, and institutional credibility — all vital for our early growth.” He added that Korea’s startup ecosystem — with its unique collaboration between universities and government agencies, and early-stage ventures — enabled rapid testing and iterative improvement.
“The environment here allowed us to refine our product quickly, set up mass manufacturing and reach market readiness in a way that would be difficult elsewhere.” Now, FastPong is preparing for global expansion across Europe, the U.S., and Southeast Asia. Kamandi sees Korea not just as a starting point, but as a proof-of-concept playground for scaling globally.
“Korea was our runway — it taught us how to fly. Now we’re ready to take off.” To fellow foreign entrepreneurs considering launching in Korea, Kamandi offers one message: “If you bring passion and perseverance, Korea will meet you with opportunity. I hope my journey shows what’s possible.”
