Pour le Paris Saint-Germain, être le Club de la Nouvelle Génération, c’est aussi être à la pointe de l’innovation.    Je suis particulièrement fier de voir grandir un projet unique en son genre : PSG Labs, notre accélérateur d’innovation sportive ! Un programme ambitieux désormais accessible en France, au cœur de STATION F – le plus grand campus de start-ups au monde – mais aussi à l’international.   Ce projet n’est pas un accélérateur comme les autres. C’est une première pour un club de football professionnel, et il incarne pleinement notre volonté de nous appuyer sur les meilleures expertises technologiques françaises et internationales pour faire progresser l’industrie du sport. Notre mission est claire : créer des passerelles entre le monde du sport et celui des start-ups, pour développer des solutions innovantes qui amélioreront nos performances, nos opérations, et l’expérience de nos fans. La liste des premières start-ups sélectionnées sera révélée dans les prochaines semaines. Je suis impatient de voir ces premiers projets à l’œuvre !
