Zurich, Switzerland – Today TALNETS AG and CrowdTransfer AG announced they are joining forces in shaping a new Swiss-based SportsTech ecosystem. In this strategic collaboration, the two Swiss companies aim to contribute towards football development on a global scale.

Over the past two months, our teams have worked closely to align our efforts around a shared vision: Developing a comprehensive, end-to-end and technology-driven Swiss-based ecosystem for football.

This partnership aims to create an integrated system that supports football players at every stage of their development – from talent identification and management to transfer financing and engaging with fans. The ecosystem will also provide resources for players after their active playing careers, ensuring a long-term, sustainable approach to football development. This initiative is proudly supported by Technopark Luzern, strengthening our commitment to innovation and growth.

The collaboration will see both companies constitute a working group to engage with football stakeholders at different levels of the sport.

As we move forward, we seek to bring on board more companies that share our vision and can contribute to this initiative. If your company or organisation offers innovative technology-based solutions that can add value to any part of the football development cycle, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate.

Let’s work together to shape the future of football on a global scale.
