Urban Sports Club has joined Startup Valencia as a Supporter. This international company’s collaboration with the innovative and technological ecosystem in Valencia helps to further enhance it and contributes to improving its competitiveness, focusing on the health and well-being of employees.
Urban Sports Club‘s mission is to help people lead a healthier and more active lifestyle through sports, thanks to a wide and varied sports and wellness offering. Urban Sports Club members can choose from over 50 different sports activities at more than 10,000 partner centers in Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, and Austria. Additionally, they also have the option to participate in outdoor, indoor, and thousands of live and On Demand online classes.
As it is available for both individual customers and companies, it has become one of the most demanded corporate benefits by employees. In this sense, Urban Sports Club is a perfect platform for our ecosystem’s startups to enhance their teams’ well-being and physical and mental health. By betting on corporate sports, it not only promotes a healthy lifestyle among employees but also brings interesting benefits to the company itself, such as helping to counteract sickness absences preventively, fostering team spirit, and enhancing employee satisfaction, productivity, and motivation, as well as helping to increase the company’s attractiveness by reducing workplace absenteeism.
More and more companies are choosing Urban Sports Club and seeing positive results in their day-to-day operations, thanks to corporate sports. An example is Sateliot, the satellite telecommunications startup revolutionizing the internet of things (IoT) business with 5G connectivity. “At Sateliot, we wanted to offer a physical and healthy option that could adapt to everyone’s tastes. Urban Sports Club offers just that. In the office, we are constantly talking about the new activities we try, and not only that, but it also leads to spontaneous meetups to practice sports, and we enjoy group activities,” explains Álex Campillo, Marketing & Communication at Sateliot.
In this regard, Juan Luis Hortelano, president of Startup Valencia, sees a total match between the philosophy of his ecosystem of companies and the mission of Urban Sports Club. “The experience of Urban Sports Club, with a presence in 5 countries and more than 10,000 spaces across Europe, is a great contribution to our ecosystem and its international scaling.”
Urban Sports Club adds its name to prominent companies like GoHub Ventures, Sabadell BStartup, Wayra, Elewit, Zeus, Plug and Play, HP, BBVA Spark, TBig Finance, Marina de Empresas, Santander, or Innsomnia, which are already part of Startup Valencia as partners, or Sales Layer, RCD, Damm, Fresh People, Aktion, Voicemod, Google for Startups, Sesame, Zubi Group, OVHcloud, Opentop, Internxt, and Next Tier, as supporters.
More and more tech companies are choosing to contribute to the development of the innovative Valencian ecosystem and help consolidate Valencia as an international tech hub. These companies also become a focal point of interest in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, improve their connections with other corporates and startups, and are publicly recognized as contributors to strategic projects for the Valencian economy.
