Representatives of academic institutions such as the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Tecnun School of Engineering, University of Deusto and other companies and startups which will participate in the program were also at the event.
Transform the fan’s experience.
The Sports Thinkers Smart Stadium program designed by GSIC will help Real to enhance innovation through solutions which will transform their fan’s experience. Microsoft’s goal is to provide fans with unforgettable experiences on every occasion, regardless if they are enjoying a game day or any other.
11 startups
During the summer months 11 startups will be selected to participate in the program. From November till February 2019, there will be a immersion week in the club to know its strategy, use cases and challenges that will be proposed to the participants. The startups will develop solutions that would cover the club´s challenges. Finally, Real Sociedad will decide whether to implement or not, one or more technological solutions that could allow Anoeta to become a smart stadium. The solutions must be based on three key aspects: Fan’s experience, security and sustainability.
