The Nordic Sports Innovation Summit is a landmark event that focuses on exploring the growth possibilities within the Nordic Sports Industry and its potential to bloom internationally. This event addresses the challenges of maintaining an active lifestyle during the winter months, envisioning the future of winter sports, and examining the environmental impact of these activities. We bring together researchers, industry representatives, entrepreneurs, and public institutions to inspire positive change and impact in the sports world.

One of the unique aspects of the event is that it circulates among the different Nordic countries, providing an opportunity for each country to host and focus on different topics. This rotation ensures that each country has a chance to showcase its sports innovation ecosystem and highlight its strengths. Moreover, it creates a basis for stronger sports innovation collaboration among the different Nordic countries. By sharing their expertise and learning from each other, the Nordic countries can build a more comprehensive and diverse sports innovation community.
