Actua and the Global Sports Innovation Center powered by Microsoft have launched the Andorra Sports Startup Challenge, a project looking to detect the best innovative solutions applied to winter sports, mountains and cycling. After completing this open innovation project, we want to continue adding value to the sports industry, offering support to the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Principality of Andorra.

For this reason, we want to invite you to apply for the mentoring program for sports startups that will start in March and run until May.

The program will consist of six online sessions using the Microsoft Teams platform, where international experts in the sports and innovation industries will share their experience and knowledge in the following fields:

  • Business models in sport
  • Sports Marketing
  • Technologies applied to sports
  • Financing and investment for startups

The maximum number of Andorran startups able to participate in the program is between 6 and 8, there will therefore be a selection process of the ones adjusting to the program´s characteristics.

The mentoring sessions will take place from 16.30 to 17.30 h, except for the session on March 10th that will be from 15 to 16 h, and will be as follows:
