ASTN stages launch event for Queensland Sports Innovation Network

The Victorian-based Australian Sports Technologies Network (ASTN) has announced the launch of the Queensland Sports Innovation Network.

Revealed at an event in Brisbane earlier this month, the initiative, being led by ASTN Board member and Olympic Gold Medallist Natalie Cook, coincides with Queensland’s 2032 Future of Sports innovation agenda (linked to Brisbane’s Olympics bid) and the Queensland Government’s plan to host the 2032 Games.

The launch event saw Cook and John Coates, the President of the Australian Olympic Committee and Vice President of the International Olympic Committee, deliver keynote presentations, with Coates addressing issues relating to sport, the Olympics and technology.

Subsequently, the ASTN has met with stakeholders from across the landscape for sport, stadiums, technology, events, broadcast, trade and investment and the 2032 Queensland Summer Olympics host city candidacy. 

Linked with this, the Australian Sports Innovation Week - including Australian Sports Technology Conference - will be hosted from 2021-2023 in Gold Coast

ASTN advise “Queensland is the second largest region for ASTN memberships and with over 75 sports innovation companies (has the) potential to rapidly grow in the decade ahead in 2032.”
