What is the Orange Sports Hub?

The Orange Sports Hub (OSH) is an international network of physical innovation hubs, specifically focused on the sports industry. Each hub brings together local and international players: sports organisations, technology companies, investors and knowledge institutions.

OSH is an initiative of Orange Sports Forum (OSF) — a platform for the international promotion of companies, organisations and institutions connected to Dutch sports, with a network of more than 300 Dutch sports-related organisations. The Orange Sports Hubs are a crucial part of the OSF Strategy 2034 and are specifically designed to strengthen and expand the position of the Dutch Sports and Vitality ecosystem by facilitating local partnerships and business opportunities in strategic locations worldwide.

From strategically located sites in Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, we create ecosystems where collaboration, knowledge sharing and commercial growth are central. OSH is the bridge between sports innovation and global impact.

OSF's projects have shown that every euro invested in international projects resulted in a return of no less than 10x in the first three years. Participation allows you to benefit from this proven track record.
