Technology Domains

Which Sector Do You Belong To?

We welcome registered companies, incubation units, startups, and innovators across these twelve pillars of sports technology.

Sports Research & Biomechanics Science
Companies developing research platforms, biomechanical analysis tools, motion capture systems, and performance science solutions that give athletes and coaches data-driven insights. If you study how the human body moves and performs — you belong here.
Sports Product Development Hardware
Manufacturers and developers creating physical sports equipment, training tools, rehabilitation devices, and smart training aids. This includes companies using advanced materials science, ergonomic design, and intelligent hardware to enhance athletic performance.
Wearable Technology IoT
Companies building body-worn sensors, smart garments, heart rate monitors, GPS trackers, fatigue monitors, and real-time biometric devices. If your technology sits on or near an athlete's body collecting data that improves their performance and health — this is your domain.
Artificial Intelligence in Sports AI/ML
AI/ML startups and companies deploying intelligent systems for talent scouting, injury prediction, training personalisation, game strategy analysis, video analytics, and computer vision. Your algorithms could predict the next Indian Olympic champion.
Sports Analytics & Data Platforms Data
Platforms and SaaS companies providing dashboards, performance analytics, video annotation, competitive intelligence, athlete profiling, and data visualisation tools for coaches, academies, clubs, and sports federations across India.
Computer Vision in Sports Vision AI
Companies leveraging camera-based AI to automatically track athletes, analyse technique, detect injuries, count repetitions, measure angles, and extract tactical patterns from video. From pose estimation on a football pitch to ball-tracking in cricket, computer vision is rewriting how we see sport.
Virtual & Augmented Reality VR / AR
Innovators building immersive training environments, mental skills simulators, tactical visualisation tools, and fan engagement experiences using VR and AR. Whether it's a goalkeeper training in a virtual stadium or a coach overlaying real-time biomechanical data on a live feed — immersive technology is the next frontier in sports.
Drone Technology in Sports Drone
Companies deploying unmanned aerial systems for athlete tracking, stadium surveillance, aerial sports broadcasting, training footage capture, and large-scale event coverage. Drones are transforming how coaches observe team formations, analyse open-field movements, and capture footage that ground cameras simply can't.
LiDAR & Spatial Sensing LiDAR
Companies harnessing Light Detection and Ranging technology for precise 3D mapping of athletic environments, high-accuracy motion tracking, terrain analysis for outdoor sports, and real-time spatial data acquisition. LiDAR enables sub-centimetre measurement of athlete positioning and field geometry.
Sports Technology Incubation Units Incubator
University technology business incubators, government-backed sports innovation hubs, accelerator programmes, and institutional R&D centres with an active focus on sports-related technology. If you are building the ecosystem that builds the builders — Nutpa Veeran is where you plant your flag and connect with the next generation of Tamil Nadu sports tech ventures.
Sports Tech Startups Startup
Early-stage ventures, seed-funded startups, and pre-revenue innovators working on any aspect of sports technology — from app-based coaching platforms to wearable prototypes to AI-powered scouting tools. You don't need a product launch or investors to walk through this door. If you're building something real and working toward it, Nutpa Veeran V1.0 is your first home.
New Ideas & Open Innovation Ideas
Researchers, student innovators, independent developers, coaches with tech concepts, and anyone with an untested but compelling idea at the intersection of sport and technology. Nutpa Veeran V1.0 deliberately holds space for ideas that haven't become products yet. Bring your concept, your sketch, your vision — this summit exists to turn Tamil Nadu's boldest sports tech dreams into reality.
