Sport Interface

What Sport Interface does

Sport Interface is a privately held Belgian consulting firm headquartered in Maransart (Lasne), near Brussels, that has provided strategic and technical advisory for sports and recreational infrastructure since its founding in 2002. The firm serves public authorities (Région Bruxelles Capitale, Commune de Schaerbeek, Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, ADEPS), real estate developers (Nexity, Unibail-Rodamco/CFE/Besix, BW Promo, CODIC), and sports clubs and federations (Royal Smashing Tennis Club and others), delivering services that span feasibility studies, technical and functional programming, strategic-axis definition, geo-marketing, and stakeholder consultation.

Its core offering rests on two product lines: a "Programming" service that co-creates sports and recreational projects through pre-design studies, and a "Strategic Axis Definition" service that frames projects against operational, financial, marketing, and environmental constraints. The differentiating technical asset is the Sport Circular methodology, co-developed with ICCE (Implementation Center for Circular Economy) and Lateral Thinking Factory, which codifies circular-economy principles into 150+ practical tool cards for sports facility managers and clubs. The firm has accompanied more than 20 circular-economy projects since 2019 under the Sport Circular program and reports a project outcome at Royal Smashing Tennis Club where its business plan contributed to tripling club membership.

The business model is professional-services consulting: project-based, quote-driven engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing; multi-year contracts; and a free first-consultation acquisition mechanic. The firm operates through a small 4-person core team plus multidisciplinary associates, with revenue derived from a mix of public-sector tenders and developer referrals. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales, the firm's portfolio of case studies, organic LinkedIn/Facebook presence, and the CEO's academic footprint at ULB, MEMOS (IOC-sponsored), and AMOS/Solvay, which functions as a thought-leadership and referral channel. The operating footprint is concentrated in Belgium with selective international engagements, most notably the 2018 Nexity advisory on the 50,000 m² Bobigny (France) urban-development site.
