A new strategic partnership has been established in July to forge new path for sport and city development in Europe though the EPSI services of fundraising, business creation and lobbying.
ACES (European Capitals and Cities of Sport Federation) and EPSI (European Platform for Sport Innovation) announce a groundbreaking strategic partnership aimed at elevating the role of sport in European Capitals, Regions, Cities, Islands, Community and Towns. This collaboration will provide unprecedented support to the aforementioned entities awarded by ACES, granting them direct access to EPSI’s services for sports innovation and project development.
ACES Europe is a non-profit association which assigns every year the recognition of European Capital, City, Community, Region and Town of Sport. The award is given to cities that promote sports and physical activity as a means to improve the quality of life and well-being of their citizens.
By joining forces, ACES and EPSI aim to create a powerful synergy that will drive positive change in the sports landscape across Europe. This partnership will offer awarded entities a unique opportunity to benefit from EPSI’s different services, including fundraising and project development or business creation. All this, with the support of a growing network of more than 160 EPSI members.
“We are excited to work with ACES to support cities in their efforts to become leading examples of sports development and excellence.” comments Alberto Bichi, Executive Director at EPSI. This strategic alliance marks a significant milestone for both organizations and sets a new standard for collaboration in the European sports ecosystem.
