This project tackles the urgent need to foster scientific innovation and the correspondent societal impact of research activities.
This gap will be addressed through the adoption of a Triple Helix Thinking (Boosting Open Innovation and Knowledge Transfer in the European Union, 2015) by emphasizing joint actions between the Academia, Government and Industry.
This rationale implies bringing together researchers, higher education institutions, industry, companies, service providers and national governing bodies along the process of co-designing research programs, co-developing technology-based solutions, along the testing and implementation of the respective solutions.
ACTIS will serve as a technological hub driven by innovation where researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, coaches and practitioners can integrate an interface of collaboration with opportunities to generate mutual value in the areas of sports performance, sports technology and data analytics.
Keywords: technology; innovation; data analytics.
