Recognized as the leading, international mark of excellence, The Sports Technology Awards celebrates tech-led innovation in sports, globally.
Founded in 2013, The Awards evolve each year to reflect the important factors influencing every facet of sports. Whether you work as a suit, tracksuit, investor, technologist, scientist, mechanical engineer or designer, The Awards are relevant to you.
The cycle of each year’s awards start when entries open in September. Then, our judges – around 70 experts – review all the entries, with the shortlist of successful brands announced in January. The Awards ceremony is then staged each year in The Spring.
Over the past 12 years, The Sports Technology Awards has become the leading global celebration of tech-led thinking. 2025 sees the elevation of this concept into ‘The Arena of Innovation’.
The Arena is a virtual, global hub at the intersection of sports, technology, science, engineering and design. It’s where disruptive technologies are showcased, scrutinized and celebrated.
It’s here that the vision of today meets the sports world of tomorrow.
The Entry Portal is Now Open – Be Part of Sports Technology’s Biggest Celebration.

External Validation
You know your work is good but there’s nothing like a large panel of industry experts confirming this! Sure, getting your hands on a trophy is special but making the shortlist is a very worthy benchmark. The Sports Technology Awards are hotly contested, in fact the submissions we see are so good that determining the winner takes several rounds of judging. Trust us, being shortlisted is an amazing achievement.
Being Up With the Best
Our lists of past winners and shortlistees reads like a directory of the best, biggest and most exciting brands in sport. Doesn’t your brand deserve to feature alongside them?
Motivate Your Colleagues
Nothing tells your colleagues how highly you rate their work by backing them for an award. Showing that you support their efforts boosts their confidence – and success in the process gives them the kudos of working for an award-winning organization.
Build an Even Better Team
You are only as good an organization as the people who work for you. The sports sector is competitive and finding good, smart colleagues is a challenge, so use valuable third-party endorsement to assure potential recruits that they are joining a world class company.
