Courtbrain at Padel World Summit

Last week we attended the Padel World Summit in Barcelona – a massive gathering of everything and everyone connected to the world of padel: club owners, booking systems, entrepreneurs, tech platforms, investors and, of course, thousands of passionate players.

It was also the very first time we presented Courtbrain publicly. Our founder Hans pitched our vision on stage at the Innovation Arena – introducing the world’s first open marketplace for racket sports. One that sits above booking systems, helps players find what they need, and gives clubs freedom and visibility on their own terms.

We had meaningful conversations with over 50 companies and individuals – from system providers to club managers and grassroots trailblazers. A common thread? Clubs want control over their data. Players want clarity and convenience. Booking systems should be tools – not walls. That’s where Courtbrain fits in.

We were also selected as one of the Top 5 startups, which gave us a great boost and validation for our mission.

Some of our team even joined one of the tournament side events – and while it was great fun, let’s just say the results won’t be featured in any highlight reels…

We also enjoyed several fantastic side events – from Padel Relations to The Padel Directory and The Mother Trees – all offering a more relaxed setting for conversations, collaborations and the shared joy of growing the sport.

We return home energized, inspired – and more certain than ever that Courtbrain is part of the future of racket sports.

See you out there – on the court or in the data.
