Welcome to Sports Valley !
SMART MOVE is located in French-speaking Switzerland – right in the heart of Europe. This region is known for its high standard of living and its innovation ecosystem. Research and development in science and cutting-edge technologies thrive here thanks to the large number of universities, the dynamic business sector and the highly qualified workforce.
This region is also the backbone of the international sports community. The International Olympic Committee is headquartered here, as are close to 60 international sports federations. That makes for a dense concentration of organizations and individuals active on the international sports scene. And SMART MOVE is at the center of it all.
