Sports Industry & Business Development Network (SIBDN)

Uniting Sports, Business & Innovation for a Winning Future

The Sports Industry & Business Development Network (SIBDN) is a pioneering initiative of Intermedia–WTPA to connect and grow the global and regional sports ecosystem. The sports industry today is not just about competition—it is a multi-billion-dollar global business sector encompassing infrastructure, management, manufacturing, technology, media, fitness, and wellness.

At the world level, sports have become a driver of economic growth, investment, tourism, and international collaboration. At the regional level, sports provide youth empowerment, community development, entrepreneurship opportunities, and brand building.

SIBDN acts as a catalyst platform to bring together athletes, businesses, startups, associations, and institutions to create opportunities, strengthen networks, and promote sustainable development in the sports economy.
