The Sports Technology
Hall of Fame

Celebrating Sports’ Visionary Brands.

The Sports Technology Hall of Fame, conceived by The STA Group, has been established to celebrate sports brands showing outstanding vision and leadership in the vital field of tech-led innovation.

The Hall of Fame has been launched this year in a carefully timed decision – 2023 marks 10 years since The Sports Technology Awards were created.

Why Launch a Sports Technology Hall of Fame Now?

It is important that the Hall of Fame comprises a credible roster of brands which have genuinely influenced technology’s use in sports over a sustained period.

The STA Group has been championing sports technology for the past decade and has been carefully watching the work all brands do. The ones honoured – both this year and in future – are, and will be, those which have led this field consistently.

The inaugural honourees have done this every year, for 10 years, and their vision needed to be formally noted and celebrated.

How The Honourees Were Selected

The brands inducted were selected based on their submissions into the past 10 Sports Technology Awards, where they ranked on The Sports Technology Power List – which is partly determined by the voting of industry peers, and how a select panel of judges reviewed their candidacy.

The next round of inductions will be in 2024 and will be selected on the same criteria.

The 2023 Honourees

We are proud and delighted to welcome these brands into The Sports Technology Hall of Fame.
