CO-INNOVATE IN SPORT 2019

Match-Making Sessions

The conference featured business matchmaking activities (SportTechMatch) powered by the Enterprise Europe Network – also known as business ‘speed dating’ – bringing together businesses and other organisations looking for partners to take their strategical development and projects forward.

This formula has a proven track record and is an ideal opportunity to enable participants to share their partnership offers or requests and schedule meetings in advance.

Industry-leading companies – together with their entire valuey chains – invest incessantly in their R&D to keep up in the race to innovate, and new projects with the support of public financing emerge seeking to meet needs that remain to be covered.
