Sport Tech Hub, the London’s first incubator dedicated to SportTech innovation, opens for business today with TrainAsONE among its first members.
Backed by London Sport, Sport Tech Hub’s tailored incubator programme will support innovation in physical and mental wellbeing through technology focused on physical activity and sport.
Sport Tech Hub aims to cement London’s role as the capital of global SportTech innovation.
TrainAsONE has been named as part of the first wave of start-ups to be part of Sport Tech Hub, London’s first incubator programme dedicated wholly to innovation in SportTech, FitTech and HealthTech.
Focused on Health & Fitness (with a present focus of running), TrainAsONE has been selected by Sport Tech Hub programme owners, London Sport, as one of the capital’s most innovative SportTech start-ups.
Aiming to supercharge developments in technology for physical activity and sport, Sport Tech Hub’s 24-week incubation programme is based at the brand-new House of Sport, and provides the capital’s most innovative SportTech start-ups access to mentoring, support and guidance from expert partners including London & Partners, FieldFisher, KPMG and Crowd Cube.
Alex Zurita, Specialist Advisor – Technology for Participation, London Sport said:
“Through Sport Tech Hub, we want to ensure that the capital’s most forward-thinking startups are given a real opportunity to contribute to the future success of sport – not just for London, but for the country and, indeed, around the world. The calibre and creativity of the startups that came forward during the application process was a testament to the wealth of innovation apparent in London’s tech sector.
“Within that process, TrainAsONE really stood out. We are delighted to welcome them to Sport Tech Hub, and look forward to supporting them in the next steps of their journey.”
Dr. Sean Radford, Founder & CEO of TrainAsONE said:
“The TrainAsONE team and I are very excited to be selected for the Sport Tech Hub incubator programme. It provides an amazing opportunity to guide and support TrainAsONE in the next phase of its journey, and share that experience with other like-minded start-ups.
“London Sport’s mission to make London the most active (and healthiest) city in the world is a formidable task, and making London the sports and fitness technology capital of the world is an excellent enabler to achieve that mission. It is an honour to be a part of that.”
The first wave of the Sport Tech Hub programme begins this month and will run until 31 March 2018. Sport Tech Hub is overseen and operated by London Sport, the organisation working to make London the most active city in the world, and is supported by a range of partners including Crowdcube, Sponge Marketing, Hubsport, Fieldfisher, RLC Ventures and London & Partners.
