One-liner: GSIC's Valencia-based testing and validation service for sportstech products — a digital- transformation diagnosis and roadmap, run by Juan Fuentes, that gives a sportstech founder a structured route to validate a product against real sports-industry requirements before pitching it into GSIC's corporate member network.
What you get
- Digital-transformation diagnosis of a sportstech product/solution, plus a roadmap for closing gaps.
- Validation/testing that feeds directly into GSIC's Solutions Catalogue — the member-only scouting platform sports organizations and corporates (FIFA, Red Bull, Real Sociedad, Lenovo, and others) browse for vetted solutions.
- A route into Innovation Days and the Groundbreakers Challenge (PEAK Las Vegas) for validated solutions.
Who it's for
- Sportstech startups (early to growth stage) that need third-party validation/testing before selling into professional sports organizations, leagues, or federations.
How to engage
- Contact the Valencia office directly to scope a testing/diagnosis engagement — no published open-call process; this is a direct-engagement service, not a competitive grant.
- Contact: Juan Fuentes (Director, GSIC Testing Lab) · +34 645 699 782 · Calle Juan Verdeguer 30, 46024 València.
- A validated solution can then apply for the member-only Solutions Catalogue listing.
Key facts
- Cost model not published as a flat fee (
mixed) — engagement is scoped case by case. #status/verify - Complements IBV Medical Device Testing Lab, which also runs biomechanical/sports-ergonomics testing under a different accreditation (ENAC, MDR) — the two labs serve adjacent but distinct sportstech validation needs.
