Rohn Malhotra, Managing Director of SportsTechX, stated, “Welcome to the latest edition of our Sports Tech Ecosystem Report. Originating in Europe, the report has evolved into its third global version, reflecting the significant activity in this dynamic sector. Our goal remains consistent: to offer a clear and structured overview of the Sports Tech world, presenting data and insights, spotlighting key global players, and identifying the trends shaping the future of sports.”

He added, “2024 was a year of mixed results. While overall funding was down compared to previous years, there were strong indicators of maturity, including consistent B2B interest, increasing M&A activity, and greater regional diversification.

This capital appears to be entering the market, as 2025 has begun exceptionally strong, with Q1 investments already surpassing the total for 2024. This is a robust sign that the market is recovering after a couple of slower years.”
