Hundreds of sports innovators to gather in Copenhagen

On 9^th October, Copenhagen will host hundreds of sports innovators. The Danish Institute for Sports Studies (Idan) and more than 20 partners encourage you to participate in an event at a very special venue. GAME Streetmekka Copenhagen is the world’s first Streetmekka. The former train shed was renovated in 2010 and is today a raw, innovative street sports facility.

'Idan Sports Innovation Day 2017' is about thinking different in sports - with or without the help of new technology. Combining networking, matchmaking, pitches, presentations, booths, new technology and a playing area, the innovation day offers everybody a chance to engage in the international community of sports innovators. Share your ideas, thoughts and interests with high-skilled companies, organisations and inventors.

After months of preparation, registration is now open at the event website sportsinnovationday.com
