As part of the program, a Startup Competition was organized by Sports Summit Mexico and the Global Sports Innovation Center (GSIC) powered by Microsoft. The competition was launched at the end of January with the aim of creating a meeting point before, during and after the Sports Summit for Latin American startups and SMEs that are developing innovative solutions applied for the sports industry. The finalists presented their solutions to the public, media and national and international sports entities during the event in México City on February 27.
Teams pitched projects which were evaluated by a jury of the sports industry professionals, among them, our General Manager Iris Cordoba, and 3 winners were chosen. CamOn was unanimously named the winner of the competition.
