Sports4All Innovation Summit

September 5th, Paralympic Games, Paris

The Sports4All Innovation Summit in Paris marks the start of a mission which Sportinnovator will initiate together with fellow frontrunners from other countries. Our goal: More sports and physical activity, for everyone at every level! The mission will run until the LA 2028 Olympic Games. In Paris we will give this multi-year mission a boost. We bring together decision-makers, innovators, implementers and experts to jointly make an impact in the coming years.

“It is important that we inspire each other within Europe and work together more smartly because we need each other to make a difference.”

Harry van Dorenmalen, Chairman of the Topteam Sportinnovator

Mission

There is an urgent problem in our society: the average person shows an alarming lack of physical activity. Not only in The Netherlands, but in many Western countries. With this summit we want to show how innovations in sports can contribute to structural solutions to this problem. For this we compose an international map of social and technological innovations, both proven and potentially successful. These inspiring examples should ultimately lead to the implementation of innovations on a larger scale.
