Building Queensland’s SportsTech economy.

The awarding of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games presents tremendous opportunities to grow Queensland's SportsTech economy.

The 10-year runway to the Games will help build Queensland skills, companies and talent by accelerating growth in SportsTech and sporting innovation, and will diversify Queensland's economy by capitalising on technologies across adjacent sectors to maximise the success of the Games.

SportXccelerating Growth Pilot Program

The SportXccelerating Growth Pilot Program is a 12-week program for Queensland companies with innovative technology solutions in the areas of sports, fitness, wellness, sports entertainment, stadiums and Esports that are transforming how sport is played, coached and watched. The program will aim to help fast-track established businesses ready to grow and export.

This pilot program is supported by the department and Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ), and run by Logan City Council’s coLab GrowthHub and Creative HQ. Yunus Sports Hub, who are based in France, are also a key partner and actively involved in the program supplying coaching and sharing their international established network.
