SportsTech
Digital Athlete
The Digital Athlete programme helps address the scarcity of women in SportsTech by providing data skills, professional development and deep domain knowledge to female technologists. Aimed at women returners and supported by leading sports organisations and sport bodies, our Digital Athletes are a great addition to any team.
Combining an understanding of the dynamics of the sector and its business, with data and analytics skills, and professional development to enable participants to work in the SportsTech environment, a Digital Athlete can combine a love of sport with a digital career.
SportsTech companies work across IOT, sports performance, data analytics, broadcast, wearable tech, fan engagement, Esports and sports ecommerce, making the career opportunities abound.
