Magnetar demonstrates strong and credible competences in the sports sector, with sport positioned as a driver for health, quality of life, community engagement, local development, and the sport-related economy. Magnetar brings long-standing experience in the design and implementation of national and EU co-funded initiatives and has developed extensive operational capacity in stakeholder mobilisation, research and mapping, event support and activation, dissemination, and capacity-building actions that can be transferred directly to sport-focused projects.
The organisation’s track record shows consistent involvement in sport-related initiatives through partnerships and networks with sports clubs, sport associations, universities and community sport departments, governmental and local actors, and strong connections to the wider entrepreneurial and tourism ecosystem. Magnetar’s team has hands-on engagement across multiple sports domains, including football, basketball, tennis, water sports, track and field, Olympic sports, and mass participation events (e.g., marathon-related ecosystem), offering practical understanding of grassroots-to-organised sport realities, volunteer coordination needs, and effective community outreach models.
A key area of Magnetar’s sports profile is its competence in sport ecosystem research, strategic mapping, and impact-oriented analysis, demonstrated through its involvement in major studies and long-duration assignments connected to the blue economy and water sports sector, including structured mapping and impact assessment work and stakeholder engagement across the marine and coastal environment. This gives Magnetar the ability to contribute to evidence-based planning in sport proposals, including baseline studies, needs analysis, stakeholder mapping, and the production of actionable reports and recommendations that support sport development, local sport tourism, coastal sport ecosystems, and related policy dialogue.
Magnetar is also well-positioned to support sports events and awareness actions through strong project coordination capacity and proven experience in designing and delivering communication activities, public-facing materials, and multi-channel dissemination, supported by long-standing collaboration with media and publishing stakeholders and strong competence in digital outreach. Magnetar combines sport ecosystem engagement, research capacity, event activation know-how, and robust dissemination and project implementation expertise, making it a reliable partner for Sport and cooperation initiatives focusing on grassroots sport development, healthy lifestyles, sport volunteering, sport entrepreneurship and employability linkages, and sustainable sport ecosystems (including coastal and water sports).
