One-liner: the specific startup-facing track inside 4iCV — SportTech sector membership plus the "Innovación y SportTech" grupo de trabajo, aimed at sport-tech startups and scaleups building software, AI, data, wearables, or fan-engagement products.
What a founder gets
- SportTech sector membership — placement alongside other sport-tech member companies (AlqueriaLab, Blautic Designs S.L., GEPACV, Bluease, Pixel Discovery S.L., Solutions Positive Karma S.L., VEST Pádel SL, Tyris Software), with a member micro-page on the 4iCV site.
- Innovación y SportTech grupo de trabajo — one of six active working groups; an operational (not theoretical) space to co-develop proposals, pursue consortium bids, and represent SportTech's interests to public administrations.
- Grant/funding-access support — 4iCV identifies relevant regional/national/EU innovation calls, helps assemble consortia, and advises members through the application (via the shared Innovación e I+D+i service).
- Sector-specific B2B networking — direct routes to clubs, federations, and sports-industry buyers that a standalone SportTech startup would otherwise need to cold-approach.
Who it's for
- Early/growth-stage sport-tech startups (software, AI, sensórica/wearables, digital platforms, data & performance analytics, fan engagement, HealthTech-in-sport) based in or targeting the Comunitat Valenciana sports ecosystem.
- Not a fit for idea-stage founders with no product yet, or non-sport-adjacent tech — 4iCV's other 8 sectors (manufacturing, facilities, federations, etc.) serve the non-tech side of the same cluster.
How to engage
- Apply through 4icvesport.org/contacto (same intake as full 4iCV membership) — no separate application for the SportTech track/working group; entity type ("startup") is declared at application and drives both the fee tier and sector placement.
- Admission timeline: ~2–4 weeks (form → equipo técnico review → validation → adhesion agreement signed).
- Contact: hubsportsvalencia@gmail.com.
Key facts
- The "Innovación y SportTech" working group is one of six listed themes (alongside Internacionalización, Sostenibilidad, Instalaciones deportivas, Rendimiento y salud, Financiación y ayudas) under 4iCV's Grupos de Trabajo service.
- 8 SportTech member companies are named publicly as of 2026-07-06: AlqueriaLab, Blautic Designs S.L., GEPACV, Bluease, Pixel Discovery S.L., Solutions Positive Karma S.L., VEST Pádel SL, Tyris Software.
- No fixed grant amount or deadline exists for this track — it is a standing membership/working-group structure, not a single call. #status/verify if 4iCV later opens a dedicated SportTech accelerator or open call (none found as of this ingest — searched specifically and found no evidence of a discrete "convocatoria"/accelerator batch).
