Focus on the younger target group
“The Dutch Lottery was founded by sports, for sports. With our contribution and as TeamNL’s biggest supporter, we encourage new generations to take up sports. The Sports Innovation League is now giving startups in the world of sports a boost to accelerate their innovation. We are bringing sports closer to everyone and taking the next step towards a happy, healthy and sporty Netherlands,” said Maurice Meijer, Chief Technology Officer of the Dutch Lottery.
Guido Daviau, Director of Recreational Sports at NOC*NSF: “It is great that innovative ideas and passionate entrepreneurs are given an extra boost to increase sports participation. The younger groups in particular – who we want to reach – are sensitive to new concepts. So I am delighted with this initiative.”
