A leading sports technology delegation from the State of Victoria, Australia visited India from May 9-13 to embark on their first sportstech trade mission with the aim of forging partnerships with their Indian counterparts. The mission is led by the State Government of Victoria in partnership with The Australian Sports Technologies Network, a not-for–profit member based organisation focused on commercialisation, development and promotion of Australian-inspired sports technologies across domestic and global markets.
The delegation is focused on key segments within the sports tech industry, which broadly includes digital services, sports medicine, wearable devices, sports data management and analysis and textiles.
The delegation to India conducted one-on-one business meetings and networking events with targeted Indian industry partners including manufacturers and retailers. They also met with key government officials to deliberate and discussed the need for collaborative partnerships in skills for mutual benefit of both countries.
A Memorandum of Understanding had been previously established between The Wool Research Association (WRA) of India and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Australia (RMIT University).
