incubation program

S-Sprint

A springboard for entrepreneurs who are innovating in the areas of sports, physical activity, and wellbeing

Who is this Incubation program for?

The sports tech & innovation sector is everywhere in rapid development; however, it is often difficult for new entrants to understand its drivers and connect with its key players.

This short and intensive incubation track focuses on facilitating the process where ideas can be tested and turned into products or services ready for market entry, and into profitable businesses, and on providing support to enter the sports industry.

It offers a tailored knowledge-intensive program to support you in building a foundation for your business idea to mature and take-off.

You will gain access to:

  • Sector specific insights & knowledge
  • Sector specific networks & matchmaking
  • Introductions to the Danish & Nordic sports innovation & tech ecosystem
  • Introductions to funding possibilities
  • Customised plan for each participating startup
  • 1:1 sparring & coaching by the Danish Business Hubs

  • Inspiring sector specific talks and masterclasses
  • Working alongside other sports innovation & tech founders
