Since 2018, the DiMo COMET project has been making strides towards becoming a leading European consortium focusing on the transdisciplinary field of Digital Sports.The DiMo project has already demonstrated the attractiveness and importance of an excellent cooperation between industry and academia in this field. The consortium has connected internationally renowned companies in the Sports & Fitness domain with leading technology companies and research institutes to a transdisciplinary competence cluster with industrial and market relevance. Due to the success of the DiMo project, the strong market needs and user trends, outlining the need for further research, the DiMo consortium is continuing into a next level.
In total, the consortium consists of 26 partners from 6 countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland) covering the entire value chain from data to value creation and focusing on the sports and fitness sector. Based on the planned innovation outcomes, namely sensor-based (data) products and services, it is crucial to pair and use synergies between DiMo-NEXT companies and academia in an appropriate complimentary manner. Thus, to create added value and address innovation dynamics within these complex innovation ecosystems of Digital Sports, DiMo-NEXT aims at a structured approach represented by the research programme.
