SportXccelerating Growth Program

With a ‘stay local, go global’ objective, the SportXccelerating Growth Pilot Program supported five innovative Queensland-based companies that are providing cutting-edge Sports Technology solutions. The program helped fast-track their businesses in developing global export plans and establishing valuable international business connections.

Over a twelve-week period, the participants received mentoring sessions with seasoned entrepreneurs and business coaches. The selected companies included:

• Chicks Who Ride Bikes - an app-based grassroots community that connects female cyclists across Australia and the globe.
• Neuphoria - wearable brain frequency sensing headwear that provides real-time audio and visual feedback to athletes and coaches.
• iNSPiRETEK - an integrated technology platform offering mental  health and wellbeing tools, support and data analytics for athletes and organisations.
• Teampay - an app where players and local sporting organisations can make and receive payments through a secure platform.
• Valor Esports - a game training platform that uses high-performance sports coaching to change the way players practice competitive gaming.
