TechSportKit is a 36-month Erasmus+ co-funded project focused on the digital transformation of the sport sector. Its full name is Technological Support Kit for Sport Actors. The project aims to help sport organisations, employers and professionals better understand, anticipate and manage the impact of digital tools, data and artificial intelligence on sport jobs, skills and training needs.

As technology evolves rapidly, the sport sector must adapt. This means not only integrating new digital tools into daily operations, but also equipping the workforce with the right skills to use them effectively and responsibly. TechSportKit responds to this need by combining research, stakeholder consultation, skills analysis and practical training development at European level.

The project officially started on 1 January 2026 and will run until 31 December 2028. It brings together 8 organisations from 8 European countries, representing employer organisations, universities, sport organisations and training actors. The total EU grant allocated to the project is €400,000.

Main objectives

The main objectives of TechSportKit are to:

– assess how digitalisation, digital tools and artificial intelligence are transforming the sport sector and its workforce,

– identify the digital skills required by sport employers and sport organisations,

– analyse barriers, enablers and training needs linked to digital transition in sport,

– develop a practical digital competency framework tailored to the reality of the sport sector,

– design and test training modules and tools to support upskilling and reskilling across Europe.

TechSportKit ultimately seeks to support a more digitally ready, resilient and future-oriented sport workforce across Europe.
