Sports4All Innovation Summit
Join the Sports4All Innovation Summit
We are excited to welcome you all on December 1th 2025 to join the the 2nd edition of the Sports4All Innovation Summit, in Antwerp, Belgium.
Following the success of the first edition in Paris - where we fostered meaningful connections - Sport Vlaanderen (BE), SportInnovator (NL), Sport England (GB) and other fellow frontrunners from Europe look forward to continuing the momentum.
There is an urgent issue: rising inequalities in physical activity levels among European citizens. What needs to be done to bend the curve? We believe that scaling social sport providers is one of the key enablers to closing the persistent policy-implementation gap.
‘Ready for the match’ embodies the essence of this event: by focusing on the sporting experience and employing smart, user-centred strategies and innovations, we aim to build a sustainable future for all and ensure winning combinations. We want to bring together decision-makers, innovators, implementers, and experts to jointly make an impact in the years to come.
The event will take place in and around the inspiring setting of “A Room with a ZOO” in Antwerp, a unique conference venue that sparks the imagination and is easily accessible by public transport.
The Sports4All Innovation Summit is part of Sport Vlaanderen’s Sportinnovatiecongres, which means you are also free to attend (other) sessions of your choice (note that most sessions are in Dutch).
Join us to discover Europe’s most innovative social sport solutions, learn from like-minded pioneers tackling similar challenges, and contribute to the future of sports.
