Open Call: SBIR Sport events for the public

Do you have ideas about how indoor and outdoor sports events can be fully and safely accessible to the public again? Sports innovator and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate challenge you to submit your idea!

This call concerns the development of new products and services with the aim of opening large indoor and outdoor sports events responsibly to the public and participants with as much freedom as possible. This is currently a major social challenge due to the risk of the spread of COVID-19. With good precautions and with the use of innovations, it may be possible to safely admit the public to sports events with a maximum occupancy.
