Ideas Britain, a mobile platform that promotes the sharing of innovative ideas, has just claimed one of the most powerful forces in all of sports as a new partner for their innovative new app—Manchester City Football Club. The app, which aims at exposing the everyday entrepreneur, finished their crowdfunding two months ago, amassing an investment just shy of £300,000.
Ideas Britain is free in the app store, and lets people with ideas easily make connections with their finances, mentoring and general support. A user merely needs to upload a video, some pictures and a description, and the app will link you to a number of people that can help. However, this does work in a manner that prioritizes entertainment, so it is set up with the best ideas at the top of your screen. This works across all facets of entrepreneurship, not merely in the realm of sports.
But the group is lucky to have landed Manchester City, which is the flagship club for City Football Group, a collection of four different soccer teams across four continents. It is headed by Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is the richest owner in the world of soccer.
So, surely, with such a large operation and mass of wealth, anybody with a good idea pertaining to the world of sports will be rewarded. This could range from updating the uniforms or cleats to the general technology it takes to compete at the highest level.
Manchester City has launched an Innovation in Sport challenge within the app, which ends on Dec, 25. As of now, the leading idea is an app called coachsix that looks at providing a more objective basis for scouting youth football talent in the United Kingdom.
