Sport Innovation Hub
Sport Innovation Hub Jyväskylä project develops and models various ways of conducting RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) activities within the ecosystem of excellence related to sports and physical activity. Additionally, the aim is to leverage the underutilized RDI potential to support the growth of small and medium enterprises and to promote success in sports, physical activity, and well-being.
The main implementer of the project is the High Performance Sports Institute KIHU, with the University of Jyväskylä (JYU) and Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences (Jamk) as co-implementers.
