Almere City FC and ve2.ventures are teaming up in a new innovation partnership focused on advancing innovation and further accelerating the club’s digital development. ve2ventures is a venture building studio dedicated to developing and scaling technological digital solutions within the sports and media sectors. Operating from their headquarters in Amstelveen, the team works on tangible technologies, tools, and innovations that help organizations operate in a future-proof way.
As part of the partnership, ve2ventures will actively explore, identify, and implement digital innovations contributing to Almere City FC's growth and professionalisation. This includes applications that streamline internal processes, provide deeper insights on and off the pitch, introduce new forms of fan engagement, and strengthen the club commercially.
This collaboration is unique because ve2ventures is not only involved at the strategic level but also deploys its own products and technologies from its growing portfolio of sport and media tech ventures. This makes innovation both tangible and applicable, directly impacting the club’s daily operations.
Kevin Klomp, co-founder of ve2ventures, said: "We are incredibly excited about the partnership with Almere City FC. The club dares to look beyond what happens on the pitch during the weekend. That ambitious spirit aligns perfectly with our vision of sport and technology. Together, we aim to implement digital solutions that are not only innovative but also add immediate value for the club and its fans."
John Bes, CEO of Almere City FC, added: "As the youngest professional football organisation in the Netherlands, we have a strong preference for innovation and technological development. However, that doesn't mean we always know what's possible in that area. That’s why it’s so valuable that this partnership provides both knowledge and execution power. ve2ventures helps us become smarter and more agile in this dynamic industry, making us future-proof both on and off the pitch."
