Sports entrepreneurship competition - STAPS - Licence 3 - University of Montpellier

The My SportTech Challenge competition is the culmination of the first cycle of sports management training for students at theUFR STAPS (University of Montpellier). Licence 2 and Licence 3 students put themselves in entrepreneurial situations. They draw on cross-disciplinary knowledge of management, entrepreneurship, marketing, financial analysis and taxation. The teaching team, made up of academics and expert practitioners, mobilizes to provide project leaders with cross-disciplinary skills translated into action.

Objectives

The event organized by the students puts them in the position of an entrepreneurial competition to reward the best projects.

The aim of this competition is to promote entrepreneurial spirit and group cohesion among young people, by placing them in an almost real-life professional situation. At the same time, it aims to communicate with industry players about the skills acquired in our training courses.

Players involved in the challenge

All the socio-economic players involved in supporting business creation and in the sports sector will be able to discover new talents who are imagining the nuggets of tomorrow. Finally, sports enthusiasts with a passion for challenges and original ideas will be able to share in the creative spirit of our sports students at the University of Montpellier.

Course

The competition takes place on the afternoon of April 18 at the Décathlon Odysseum site. Each group will pitch for 5 minutes/5 minutes of questions, before a jury of 7 industry professionals, who will award thematic prizes to the winners.
In teams of no more than 4 students, candidates present entrepreneurial projects focused on sport tech (connected objects, platforms, etc.). They have first drawn up a business plan to study commercial and financial feasibility, and present a strategic and operational action plan.
