It´s time for a little recap of Wearable Technologies Conference Europe 2017. Just one week after the conference, which took again place in line with ISPO, the world´s largest sports trade show for the sports business, we can say that it was a full success. Next to speakers from some of the most important companies in the field of wearable technologies and the Innovation World Cup Ceremony the conference had a lot more to offer. So please check out some of the highlights this year.
It was a great start with CEO Christian Stammel on the stage introducing the 11th Wearable Technologies Conference Europe 2017 in Munich. Andi Gall from Red Bull Media House holding the keynote was a big highlight too. Nicola Belli from Safilo (Smith Optics) presented smart glasses live on stage that can help improving wellness. The smartglasses are embedded with EEG, EOG and EMG sensors and also include activity tracker, pressure-, temperature- and uv-sensor and everything integrated in a single piece of eyewear. For the first time, Terho Lahtinen, Senior Manage Future Concepts of Suunto presented Movesense, a development platform, which creates customized tools for sports and training apps. With Polar, another Finnish company was hitting the stage: Laurens van den Berg, Marketing Director DACH of Polar Electro gave a live demo of the new Polar Team Pro Shirt, a sleeveless, base-layer shirt that replaces the need for a chest strap monitor. It captures real-time heart rate data, allowing coaches to gain insight into an athlete’s performance, and adjust training as needed.
Like every year everyone was excited about the Innovation World Cup Award Ceremony. 29 finalist in six categories from more than 400 participants were allowed to present their products or solutionson stage. But only six of the were named as Innovator of the year.
