EIS co-authors The 2021 Sports Technology Annual Review

Launched in November 2020, The Sports Technology Annual Review is a yearly report which summarizes technology trends, influences and activity within the sports sector and offers both opinion as well as data.

The Review draws its information from a variety of sources including The English Institute of Sport (EIS) Performance Innovation Team’s research, data gleaned from The STA Group awards’ entries, market research with selected industry figures and brands, and the authority brought to bear by individual chapter sponsors.

This year, The Review was launched at an event hosted by Charles Russell Speechlys in London. Attended by representatives from across the sport, technology and innovation sectors, the launch gave attendees the chance to hear from a number of the chapter contributors, such as Sportradar, HOK, Engage, Reactoo, Streamamg and the EIS. There was also a selection of technology on show that the EIS Performance Innovation Team has developed in partnership with sports, such as Laura Kenny’s track bike from Tokyo 2020 and a heated jacket that keeps athletes warm before their competition using heated graphene panels.

In a short time, The Review has garnered industry respect as an authoritative resource, achieving thousands of downloads since publication. It is now viewed as required reading for industry commentators and senior figures across the sports sector.
