This year’s ActiveLab cohort includes representatives from Britain, the USA, Australia, Belgium and Ireland, and features an array of disruptive concepts with the potential to be the next breakthrough capable of reducing the barriers to physical activity.
The selection process saw more than 120 companies from across the globe apply to ukactive to join the 12-week ActiveLab programme, with the final 11 FitTech focused companies including representatives from Britain, the USA, Australia, Belgium and Ireland.
