The global rendez-vous for the future of sport
Global Sports Week Paris is the first international forum in France dedicated to Sport.
Established in 2020, it has emerged as the privileged meeting place for organizations across the global ecosystem of sport – committed to establishing a more innovative and sustainable future for sport.
GSW offers a unique setting and platform for influencers and decision-makers to come together to SHAPE, SHAKE & SHARE, the future of sport, providing the tools and insights to inspire new ways of thinking.

In 2023, GSWParis has teamed up with Viva Technology to create Future of Sport.
From June 14th-17th, at Porte de Versailles in Paris, Future of Sport brought together all the key players of sports positive transformation, with the major leaders in innovation, tech and business, in a dedicated space of over 9000 sqm.
Across 4 days, VivaTech’s 150,000 visitors had the opportunity to discover over 75 partners, start-ups and exhibitors, and attend over 80 top-notch conferences led by the biggest stakeholders of global sports.
Just 100 days before the Rugby World Cup and one year before the Olympic and Paralympic Games transform Paris into the worldwide capital of sport, the Future of Sport pavilion at VivaTech has been a one-stop-shop for inspiration, business opportunities, networking and co-operation for decision-makers in the sport sector and for leaders in innovation and technology.
