Worldwide Sports & Performance Technology Awards

In no other arena does the pursuit of marginal gains have a greater impact than in sport. From elite competition and professional coaching to recreational fitness and community participation, technology is transforming how performance is understood, measured, and taken to the next level.

The DaVinci Awards® celebrates the innovators developing products that are raising the bar in sport and performance.

We recognize technologies that improve athletic development, optimize equipment, reduce injury risk, enhance coaching, enrich fan experiences, and unlock new ways to measure, analyze, and improve performance for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

We’re on the lookout for products that combine thoughtful design with impressive results – helping athletes, coaches, organizations, and consumers achieve better results through practical application of technology. If this is you, a DaVinci Award® could be yours.

The DaVinci Awards recognizes outstanding feats of human ingenuity, and product innovation. Entries are welcomed from individuals, teams, startups, or established enterprises based anywhere in the world. Areas of interest include, but are certainly not limited to:

Show how your innovation advances the field rather than simply improving an existing product. Judges will look for creative engineering, novel technologies, or original design thinking that delivers a tangible competitive advantage. Explain the development process, the technical challenges overcome, and why your solution represents a genuine step forward for sport or human performance.

Demonstrate the need your product addresses, whether improving athletic performance, reducing injury, supporting coaching decisions, increasing accessibility, enhancing engagement, or helping users achieve better outcomes. Evidence such as performance improvements, user adoption, independent validation, or customer feedback will strengthen your submission.

Consider the wider influence of your innovation beyond its initial purpose. Explain how your product can evolve to serve new sports, markets, user groups, or environments, and how it may contribute to the future of sports science, coaching, equipment design, or active lifestyles. Judges will value innovations capable of delivering long-term impact across the industry.

Winners may make full use of The DaVinci Awards® hallmark of excellence, linked to your level of accreditation, on all relevant materials.
