ISPO Digitize is more than just an event, it’s a platform for the future of the industry, according to Messe Munchen. Keeping in mind that digital transformation isn’t a short sprint, but rather a long running marathon, Messe Munchen is hosting innovation summit every year.

The digital transformation is impacting the sports sector in a big way. This is a sector where speed matters. Those who can’t keep up with the speed will fall behind.

This year ISPO Munchen together with Adidas is focusing on this topic for the first time on its own platform.

The opportunities offered by digitalization, how obstacles can be overcome and how the sports retail sector as well as the manufacturing sector can benefit from digitalization – these are the topics of ISPO Digitize.

“In our ISPO digitize in Munich this year we’re offering specialist dealers, concrete application examples that can support them in their own digital transformation,” said Tobias Gröber, Head of ISPO Group.

Concrete added value for sports retailers

“The benefit is that participants – and above all retailers – will be presented with personal solutions and concepts that are tailor-made to suit their requirements, and which can immediately be implemented into their business. One thing is certain: digitalization makes the analogue deficit clear. In the sports sector, there is a clear group, perhaps 25%, who have already engaged with digitalization themselves,” said Mr. Gröber.

“Manufacturers can enter into dialogue with their retailers on site, in order to clarify how best to deal with digitalisation together. Additionally, the manufacturing sector can present its own digital solutions. Good solutions for this sector do already exist,” he continued.
