The sports industry is looking towards the triple bottom line as a priority and is need of fresh talent to contribute to solving the social and ecological issues that face us. SportsPro’s Hackathon is an opportunity for top students from across the world to compete against each other, creating innovative solutions that could help the sports industry drive social, financial and environmental change, whilst also being mentored by the top thought leaders within the industry.
The Hackathon will see students set challenges to enable major events to fulfil the challenge of ensuring business practise is as sustainable as it can be.
Can your solution ensure that the sports industry becomes a more equitable place for its stakeholders and provides greater social value to its communities?
Can your solution actively reduce sport’s ecological footprint?
Can your solution exhibit the economic rewards that the sports industry’s stakeholders can garner from implementing policies that prioritise society and the environment that they are operating within?
Such great energy throughout the event, thanks SportsPro for having me on board as a Mentor and organising it. Well done to all teams for working hard, wanting to do meaningful work with a social impact, bringing your fresh ideas and way of thinking to the table. I hope to see many of you in Sportbiz making some noise soon. Keep pushing!
What a great experience for everyone involved!!! Congratulations to the winners, but also to SportsPro. A much needed initiative, well planned and professionally delivered. Another milestone in the development of sport as an important industrial sector and business activity.
It was an honour to be a mentor to the students taking part in the SportsPro Hackathon themed on sustainability. The energy, passion and enthusiasm of the students taking part was fantastic to witness. I am confident the event has provided them with an excellent opportunity for personal development, which will aid them in their careers. It is safe to say that the future of the sports industry and indeed the planet should be in safe hands with these creative and purpose driven thinkers.
I was incredibly impressed with the quality of projects from the students – their creativity and ground-breaking concepts are essential for the future well-being of the sporting industry and this initiative provided an unequivocal ability to bring fresh insight and conceptual development into our world. These are undeniably the future leaders in the business of sport.
