About EPSI

Let’s shape your ideas

EPSI is a non-profit European association (ASBL) based in Brussels, Belgium. We are a membership-based networking organisation, focused on innovation in sport and all the neighbouring sectors. We strive for a more innovation-friendly environment to stimulate business development.

The EPSI network is one of the leading sports communities in Europe which includes any type of private or public entity or organisation in Europe that operates in the field of sports, such as sports clubs, federations, startups, universities, research institutes, clusters, municipalities, regional authorities and more.

EPSI connects stakeholders across local, national, and European levels, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in sport, health, tourism, education, and space. We drive innovation and business growth through top-down and bottom-up approaches, supporting projects at all technology (TRL) and service (SRL) readiness levels to deliver sustainable, high-impact results.

EPSI business model focuses on the quadruple Helix: business, academia, public authorities and end-consumers.

For us, EPSI has been very instrumental in creating a network of relevant connections on a European level. We have been involved in Erasmus + application which has been supported heavily by EPSI. EPSI also helped us identify where we can create potential partnerships

Thanks to the EPSI platform, we managed to collect applications from several European countries for a call for proposals in just over 24 hours. If I had had to do this on my own, as I have done for other calls I have participated in without your support, it would have taken me weeks to manage communications and explanations. This shows how valuable the EPSI network is for facilitating collaboration between different realities across Europe!
