The Park is a virtual innovation hub led by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), designed to connect technology-driven companies with the Australian sports sector to tackle key challenges and unlock system-wide value.

The initiative will focus on five global challenges:

1. Harnessing Data, AI and Machine Learning – advancing governance, tools, and integration to generate meaningful value across the sector.
2. Next-Generation Wearables – enabling real-time monitoring of human performance and delivering actionable insights.
3. Digital Twin Technologies – developing simulations to enhance decision-making, strategy, and performance outcomes.
4. Brain Performance Innovation – supporting ethical approaches to performance, assessment, treatment and Return to Play (RTP) protocols.
5. Material Science in Sport – The adaption of new and emerging application of advanced materials in aiding human performance.

Through a six-month co-designed program, The Park will bring together selected technology firms, NSO/Ds, and the ASC to accelerate solutions from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 to TRL 8+. Upon completion, the ASC and participating NSO/Ds may pursue further collaboration, procurement, and deployment of proven technologies at scale.

In 2026, The Australian Sports Commission, in partnership with Built has provided funding. This funding is used to support the grants given to successful applicants.
