Women in Sports Tech Revenue and Competitors

WiST is the leading organization to drive growth opportunities for women in the fast-growing sports tech industry. Technology focused on the sport business is expected to be exceed $73B by 2018, presenting an enormous opportunity for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, elite athletes, and professional sports teams. They are now creating and investing in sports tech products and services across the world. The sports tech landscape includes the following categories: - Talent identification, scouting, education and recruitment - Sports performance and assistive technologies (e.g., wearables, biometric data, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, apparel, footwear, injury management, adaptive/disabled sports) - Digital media and content (e.g., sports advertising/sponsorship, news, social media, scripted and reality programming) - Smart venue and fan engagement - Technologies for sport/league/team businesses (e.g., digital sales, marketing, licensing and distribution; operations systems; venture capital investments) With this expansion of fan and business interest, sport-related tech firms, along with other broad-based tech companies, recognize the need to diversify their workforce. Business leaders understand that it is critical to recruit and retain women who have a passion and skillset for tech and business management. Their experiences, diversity of thought, interest in sports, and perhaps their athletic background, serve to enlighten, promote, and deliver on a company’s mission. Women in Sports Tech answers this concern by offering businesses and women the foremost platform for connections, resources, and career engagement.
