INDESCAT and Sea Otter Europe renew collaboration agreement

With the 2024 edition of Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental taking place in Girona on September 20, 21 and 22, organisers have confirmed that sports industry cluster INDESCAT has renewed its strategic collaboration agreement.

INDESCAT currently brings together more than 130 companies and organisations, with a global turnover of over €2,400 million, offering services and products to the entire sport and physical activity market, working together to promote the sports sector.

Critically, the 2024 renewed agreement includes a series of advantages for cluster members and their participation at Sea Otter Europe.

A private, company-led, entity, INDESCAT’s main objective is to help its members identify and address new business opportunities that may come from innovation, internationalisation, training or financing, through working groups, conferences or collaboration agreements with different institutions.

Furthermore, INDESCAT also promotes the Barcelona Sports Hub, a public-private initiative of the Barcelona City Council, with the leadership of the Institut Barcelona Esports (IBE).

The Barcelona Sports Hub provides the city with a space for technology and innovation applied to the world of sport; to generate synergies between entities, investors, companies and entrepreneurship, and to activate and accelerate the sport tech ecosystem in the city.

As one of the international benchmarks in the cycling sector, Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental seeks to create links and agreements with the main entities in the sector, such as INDESCAT, with the shared aim of collaborating in the development and expansion of the sports sector.

The sports industry cluster will have its own space at the festival, which will be available to cluster members for activities such as exhibitions, presentations and networking activities with over 400 brands exhibiting at the festival.

The 2023 edition of Sea Otter Europe Costa Brava Girona by Continental saw around 65,000 visitors attend the three-day event, which also included extensive demo bike opportunities, a road and gravel sportive, and mountain bike racing at all levels.
