EuroLeague Basketball, together with University of La Salle-URL\u2019s innovation park, La Salle Technova Barcelona, announced\u00a0 that they are jointly launching the EB Tech Challenge<\/a><\/strong>, an initiative that aims to connect some of the world\u2019s most innovative startups ready to disrupt the sports industry by providing solutions to existing or future challenges for sports organisations.<\/p>\n

The EuroLeague Basketball Tech Challenge, powered by La Salle-URL, is sending out an open call to startups to apply for the opportunity to attend an intensive week of collaboration, where they will meet top executives of both organisations, as well as a powerful roster of leaders in the sports business, entrepreneurship and investment communities. Startups will benefit from mentoring, networking and conference sessions with renowned industry specialists, where they will be able to validate their concepts and potentially prove them in real environments. The Tech Challenge week will be hosted at Euroleague Basketball headquarters and the facilities of La Salle-URL in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Startups may present any projects that fit within any of the target topics, with the only requirement to be eligible being that such projects are technology-centered and bring creative and innovative solutions and opportunities for professional leagues, clubs, sponsors and sports organisations in general.<\/p>\n

The selection of the finalists will be performed by a panel including:<\/p>\n

Jordi Bertomeu \u2013 President & CEO, Euroleague Basketball
\nJosep M. Santos \u2013 General Manager, University of La Salle-URL
\nAdam Kelly \u2013 Senior Vice President, Head of Sales Worldwide, IMG Media
\nSalvador Alemany – President, Abertis
\nSree Varma \u2013 Founder & CEO, iSportconnect & iSportconnect Capital
