The challenge?
As a business developer for Victoris (UGent) and program manager of SportUp (Belgian sports accelerator), Kristof De Mey noticed there’s a big gap in connection between experts from various academic fields, especially looking at an international level. On the other hand, this research doesn’t always reach the sports industry and sportstech companies in particular, while very few sportstech companies are actually research based. The goal? Create an international network that connects the most innovative Sports, Tech & Business scientists with each other ánd with research-driven industry or non-profit representatives.
