Welcome to
EEN Sport Itinerary 2023 – B2B Ocean Race
Inspiring and international environment and targeted meetings ensure knowledge gain and new business contacts.
Sport represents an integral part of the lives of millions of Europeans. Support for sport builds community cohesion, grows social inclusion and leads to an enhanced sense of European identity. Sport is also a key facet of Member States and the larger European economies: the sector employs millions of European citizens and adds billions in revenue.
Promoting new initiatives for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to acquire additional skills, abilities and new opportunities for international partnerships in this context is even more crucial.
A Network pilot action
In 2023 the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) will promote a joint calendar of free business events (e.g., B2B, workshops, learning opportunities) focused on the sports ecosystem in the framework of important international sports events, among others.
The Network will organise 6 international B2B events and at least 5 thematic workshops, training courses open to all European SMEs and free of charge.
Companies that will successfully participate in at least 2 Network events during the year will compete for a special Final EEN Prize in Turin, in November 2023, during the ATP Finals Tennis.
What are our goals?
- Mobilize business actors of the sport ecosystem
- Create international business opportunities
- Exchange of good practices
- Award successful SMEs that will have distinguished themselves during the planned activities with a dedicated Enterprise Europe Network Prize
- Transnational visibility
