Enterprise Ireland is welcoming sports clubs and rehabilitation organisations from the Netherlands and Belgium to Dublin for a two-day visit focused on Irish sports technology.
The delegation, which includes Champions League club Club Brugge, will meet eight Irish companies: Colata, DANU, FitrWoman, KinetikIQ, Orreco, Output Sports, RYPT and Sports Impact Technologies. Presentations, networking and one-to-one meetings are planned at the Sport Ireland Campus.
Dublin-based Output Sports already works with more than one-third of clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie, as well as national football teams. It has recently signed a distribution partnership with Dutch company ProCare to expand its reach across Benelux.
Co-founder and chief operating officer Dr Darragh Whelan said: “The Benelux region is an important growth market for Output Sports, where we are seeing strong demand for technology that supports athlete performance and monitoring.”
Enterprise Ireland’s Sports Tech Landscape report identified 93 venture capital-backed sports technology companies in Ireland and ranked the country first in Europe for sports technology venture capital investment per capita.
