The European Platform for Sport Innovation (EPSI) is a non profit association (ASBL) located in Brussels (Belgium). It is a membership-based networking organisation within Europe that focuses on innovation in the areas of physical activity related to sport, leisure and health[1]. EPSI strives for a more innovation-friendly environment for the EU sports industry, in order to stimulate technological innovation and to set up businesses with a focus on innovative technology[2].
Since 2019, EPSI Headquarter is the House Of Sport in Brussels. The core objective of the House Of Sport is to reunite all sport organisations from all over Europe under the same roof, creating synergies and joint activities that could benefit the entire sport ecosystem[3].
