Welcome to the ISPO press portal

The application period for ISPO Brandnew 2021 is nearing its end: Innovative start-ups can still submit their ideas until October 9, 2020.

This is the tenth time that ISPO is distinguishing outstanding products and services in the sports industry with the prestigious ISPO Award. Companies from the entire sporting goods industry can submit their new products between September 28 and December 4, 2020

ISPO Shanghai 2020 was the first physical meeting of the sports and outdoor industry this year and was held from 3 to 5 July at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC).

The ISPO Re.Start Days served as a virtual summit for the sports and outdoor industries on June 30 and July 1. The live digital conference brought together top speakers and industry representatives – they took part in more than 60 interactive sessions and discussed future opportunities, new approaches and motivation factors in the process. People from about 50 countries logged into the conference and took advantage of the opportunity to network during the industry’s biggest event of the summer.

The ISPO Re.Start Days taking place on 30 June and 1 July 2020 are the most important event for the sports and outdoor industry this summer. CEOs, experts and professional athletes share their experiences and present concrete recommendations and solution strategies for the time during and after the coronavirus crisis. The three focus topics are: Sustainability, digitalization and health.

In the course of the current corona pandemic, the international sports and outdoor industry is facing far-reaching challenges. The ISPO team also had to cancel OutDoor by ISPO 2020 and the ISPO SDG Summit and postpone the ISPO Digitize Summit. However, the focus and motto of the current anniversary year, "50 years of tomorrow", will remain: Based on the feedback and needs of the most important industry stakeholders, ISPO developed a digital live conference for the sports and outdoor industry. The ISPO Re.Start Days on June 30 and July 1, 2020 offer orientation and growth strategies for a time after Corona. 

Outstanding Outdoor is the seal of quality for the most outstanding products in the outdoor industry. This year's round of applications for the product award will be running until May 29, 2020. In line with the circumstances surrounding the coronavirus crisis, the evaluation and awarding will largely be carried out digitally. The winners will also receive a comprehensive year-round communication package.

eSports has developed from a niche existence to a mass phenomenon that is followed by millions of people via livestream or in sold-out stadiums. ISPO has recognized the potential of digital sports for the sports and outdoor industry and is committed to actively shaping and advancing this area. Under the umbrella of ISPO Digitize, the engagement in the field of eSports is constantly being expanded - and the community is actively involved.
