Sports industry designers of tomorrow
The ISPO Academy Masterclass is aimed at "designers of tomorrow" in the field of sports. The objective is to bring a fresh breeze to the sports industry. The Masterclass is not a competition. Instead, it promotes multidisciplinary thinking, open exchange and cooperation.
In a changing global environment with oversaturated markets and homogeneous product offerings, the Masterclass aspires to break the conformity with future-oriented approaches. It conveys sport-related knowledge and explores the creative and functional potential of performance wear in the 21st century.
This was the Masterclass 2020
