Startups that came through innovation programs run by the Ministry of Sport signed a series of memoranda of understanding on Tuesday with organizations working in the sports sector, during the ministry's participation in LEAP 2026, the fifth edition of the global technology event.

The agreements are designed to deepen cooperation between the young companies and sports-sector entities, encourage the use of innovative solutions and services, and give the startups new ways to grow their businesses and widen their presence, improving their prospects and long-term sustainability.

The signings extend the ministry's work to support startups and small and medium-sized enterprises by connecting them with partnerships in sport and promoting innovation, modern technology and entrepreneurship, with the goal of building quality partnerships, growing national companies and widening private-sector involvement in developing the sector.
