Objet Sportif & Stade Connecté
In the current health context, the MEL and the partners of the "Objet Sportif & Stade Connecté" call for projects offer additional time to allow participants to prepare their applications. Applicants have until 22 May to send in their applications and until 26 June to send in their complete files.
As part of the development of the new sector of excellence dedicated to the sports market (1200 billion euros worldwide), the MEL, in partnership with hellolille.sport, the CITC and the BPI, are launching the call for projects “Objet Sportif et Stade Connecté” (sports object and connected stadium).
The call for projects is open to private sector structures operating in Europe: project leaders, start-ups, SMEs, associations as well as public structures resulting from academic research such as universities and research organizations.
With this call for projects, the partners aim to :
- Host on the territory, new companies or project leaders who invest or want to invest in the sports market;
- Promote encounters between structures and companies in order to develop a solution/product integrating complementary technological bricks;
- Develop prototypes that can become innovative products to be marketed to the sports industry and in particular to the customers of hellolille.sport (international sports federations, professional leagues and clubs, sports event organizers);
- Provide additional services to companies and start-ups in the region and complementary to the support already provided by the "sites of excellence", by enabling the selected project leaders to use the Stadium Lille Metropole to test their prototypes/products/solutions with the Stadium's testing communities.
Support to winners
The 3 winners will benefit, depending on the needs and maturity of the selected project :
- a €10,000 grant;
- the availability of a testers’ community at the Stadium Lille Métropole, which could also be used as a showroom in a second phase;
- an individual technological coaching;
- a linking with possible partners, necessary for industrialization;
- a service to facilitate marketing of the product/solution (identification of prospects / canvassing of customers).
Selection Criteria
The projects must fall at least under one of these 4 themes: health sport, esport, connected stadium and performance sport.
Project developers shall demonstrate in particular :
- The economic and commercial potential of the solution;
- The relevance of the project in terms of technology and uses;
