About

Paradigm shift

New technologies are erasing the boundaries between sports and health. Solutions for elite athletes now apply to the greater public. Sports today are a laboratory for health just like Formula 1 became a lab for the car industry.

Innovation fuels growth

A new generation of businesses use technology to distinguish themselves from their competition. They are in touch with new trends, lead exploratory projects, and collaborate with external partners to address internal challenges.

Innovation is at the heart of human performance, from elite athletes to the greater public.

Athletc. unites business leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists and investors from the sports and health industries to generate collaborative business deals. It’s a private network where offer meets demand to create a critical mass of innovation.

At the heart of human performance

On top of brokering connections and partnerships, Athletc. holds exclusive insights that can catalyse our clients’ ambitions. As such, Athletc. is more than a network – it is a development tool decision-makers use to design differentiated strategies in the sports and health industries.

We unite stakeholders to create innovative solutions that improve human performance.
