Innovation Marketplace visits LaboSport Le Man

Earlier in November student and staff members of the Innovation Marketplace spent an enlightening 3 days in the heart of the Le Mans 24 hour race track. The event was hosted by Labosport France and we spent the time learning all about Labosport’s business and technical needs for future surface characterisation. Putting the athlete and the user at the heart of the innovations, Carolyn detailed the current array of testing methods available and the requirements of FIFA testing.

The teams travelled from all our partner institutions for this wonderful A4SEE challenge.

The teams have been tasked with refining or revolutionising measurement methods, helping to meet the companies future strategic needs.


Our thanks to Pascal Marmey and his team for hosting us and being so generous with their time.
