Health & Sports Technology Initiative in European report 2022 by Sportstechx

Health and Sports Technology Initiative one of only two Swedish companies or programs mentioned in any of the categories Investors, Programs, and Initiatives.

Stina Lundgren Högbom, Global relationship Manager of Health & Sports Technology Initiative – citated in the report:

During 2022 my advice would be to stay focused, keep moving
forward and be ready to take that consultant gig, so you will survive
2022 even though you don’t get that funding you thought. I do
hope I am wrong but as it is now 2022 seems to be a year of
uncertainty especially for angels. You want to be ready and stay
ahead as the world around us starts to mature and understand the
power of SportsTech and how knowledge can be used in many
more areas than just sport.

Sports Tech – a Swedish future industry

The entire sports industry is changing, from being a manufacturing industry to also being based on digital tools. A new sector has emerged, “sports tech”, which can be described as the intersection between sports and technology. It is a complex mix of solutions used, for example, to support elite players to perform at the highest level or for attendance management at football training. Does disruptive technology have the potential to revolutionize the entire sports sector?

In a new report “Swedish sports tech – Top three in Europe”, the authors describe the trends in Sports Tech, based on the latest research.

The webinar discusses:

  • How can sports-based entrepreneurship contribute to Swedish growth?
  • What are the success factors behind startup companies in sports tech?
  • What does the investment climate look like for the sports tech sector? What policy measures are needed to strengthen the sector

the webinar is held in Swedish!

The report is written by:

  • Stina Lundgren Högbom, fil. dr at KI, Global Relationship Manager at Health and Sports Technology Initiative, Blekinge
  • C. Mikael Mattsson, med. dr. at KI, digital health expert at RISE, project manager for the Health and Sports Technology Initiative, Blekinge, and founder Svexa
  • Benjamin Penkert, founder of SportsTechX
