Juventus Forward

JUVENTUS FORWARD, LEADING THROUGH INNOVATION

Juventus Forward is the Club’s latest innovation programme. It is a co-creation space that encourages internal collaboration and integration with the external innovation ecosystem (Institutions, Start-ups, Accelerators). Forward, a fusion of a corporate and a sporting soul, has the role of facilitator, with the aim of fostering the conditions necessary to generate innovation.

As the first Sport Partner of an accelerator in SportTech, winner of the 2023 Innovation of the Year prize awarded by the Social Football Summit, organiser of ‘Calls for Ideas’ aimed at students, active in Venture Clienting and an increasingly active participant in the innovation network, the project consists of three objectives: translating ideas into value (revenue and performance), brand positioning and the introduction of a culture of innovation, because innovation is not only represented by technological solutions, ideas or methods, but also by the process of discovering new ways of doing things. Play the Forward Game!

INNOVATION THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON BUSINESS: CORPORATE INNOVATION

Innovation is the thread running through the Juventus’ history. From day one, the Club has demonstrated a desire to continually stretch the limits, constantly redefining the way it relates to the outside world through new forms and technologies. “Innovation” is therefore not just a word, but a mindset: an approach aimed at finding optimal solutions, evolving processes, as well as organisational and business models. In this context, Forward, in its corporate soul, gathers internal needs and scouts for suitable solutions offered by the external innovation ecosystem. Corporate innovation helps achieve goals such as efficiency and the creation of new and increased value. It creates a framework for innovation to grow and hubs to connect internal and external stakeholders to the club's strategic challenges, practices open innovation through venture clienting, and participates in major industry events to scout for innovative ideas and opportunities.

The constant quest for improvement drives the development of strategies, tools and technologies to optimise processes and performance both on and off the field. Thanks to this attitude and constant applied scientific research, this department is a leader in supporting the development of players' full potential.
