The sector\u2019s scale is comparable to that of the biotechnology industry, according to the Swiss SportsTech Report published on Friday. It was commissioned by Swiss Olympic \u2013 which is both the National Olympic Committee and the umbrella organisation for Swiss sport \u2013 and carried out in collaboration with the consultancy firms PwC and Generis.<\/p>\n
The sector comprises companies that develop products, materials, processes, platforms and services for sport, or adapt existing technologies to the needs of athletes and sports organisations. Despite the presence of major research centres and industrial hubs, however, the sector remains relatively low-profile, according to the study\u2019s authors. Among the study\u2019s recommendations is the proposal to establish a national organisation dedicated specifically to \u201cSportstech\u201d, with the aim of strengthening collaboration between sport and business, increasing the international visibility of companies and facilitating access to new capital for growth.<\/p>\n
