INNOVATION PROGRAMME
Our Partners
Sport Tech Hub works with corporates, universities and government organisations to utilise technology to tackle physical inactivity. Our partners contribute more than money. Their ideas, volunteer power, in-kind support and more are helping us move the needle and defeat one the biggest societal challenges inactivity.
Ben Cole
Head of Strategic Projects, Loughborough University London“We at Loughborough University London are delighted to be able to continue working with Sport Tech Hub and support the start-ups connected to Sport Tech Hub. We are passionate about enabling companies and individuals to grow and succeed."
Delphine Mazillier
CSR Leader“We know that regularly staying active does wonders for our physical and mental wellbeing. We also know that there are too many barriers currently preventing a large proportion of the UK public from doing so. That’s why we’re absolutely delighted to be partnering with London Sport’s Sport Tech Hub to encourage more people in London, and beyond, to reap the benefits of sport through innovation, tech and community. At Decathlon, it’s our mission to make sport accessible to the many, so we look forward to working closely with London Sport who clearly share the same goal.”
