Eurosima, www.sima.com
The
desire to federate and promote common interests of the boardsports
industry originated in the United States in the early 90s, when the
leaders of the American brands felt the need to master the various
trends emerging from the explosion of this market.
In this context, SIMA was created (Surf Industry Manufacturers Association), which according to the saying, “strength through unity”, has been able to unite and structure surf brands enabling them to evolve together, while keeping in mind and respecting the “boardriding spirit”.
A few years later, leading European brands such as Rip Curl, Billabong, Quiksilver, Rusty, Gotcha and Hoff, decided to launch the same experience and in 1999 created EuroSIMA (European Surf Industry Manufacturers Association) on the same ideas as its American model.
Building on its solid success, in 2005, EuroSIMA opened its membership to companies of all “boardsports” origins: surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding and created a "Mountain Division". Since then, many events and actions took place in the sector and EuroSIMA is now recognized as the European Association of boardsports companies.
In January 2008, the association integrated the EuroSIMA Cluster to create a network of private and public actors, focused on the promotion and development of the boardsports sector in the Aquitaine region of France. This association of private and public actors has enabled EuroSIMA to considerably increase its span of action in such fields as innovation and R&D, employment and training, sustainable development and economic resources.
Today, EuroSIMA has 92 members, who are active in the boardsports
world, including 61 brands and 31 service providers.
IDEAS, www.ideas-designers.com
IDEAS Active Sports Design Network was founded in 1996. Offering design services to an industry which has started acting global very early, the founders of the association felt the need to establish a business platform and show-case for professionally qualified sports-related apparel, product and graphic designers. Not only to attract visitors from all around the globe, but also to obtain wider recognition of high-quality sports fashion and product design. Therefore membership to IDEAS is very selective and only experienced freelance working design studios are welcome.
IDEAS is exhibiting regularly at important trade-fairs for the sports industry like ISPO show (Munich/ Germany), Outdoor show (Friedrichshafen/ Germany) and PERFORMANCE DAYS.
A special focus of the unique association is the exchange among the members about future trends in sports. Years ago IDEAS has started to publish a colour forecast based upon this exchange and input of its international members and their deep knowledge of the market. In the meantime the IDEAS colour forecast is sold to companies all over the globe. The buyers appreciate the authenticity and expertise of this forecast - made by insiders of the sports industry for the sports industry.
IDEAS invites the sports industry to get in touch with the group´s design professionals and to find out about their individual visions for active wear, sports fashion, sports equipment, graphics and more.
International Mountain Summit; www.IMS.bz
Das Bergfestival - Il festival della montagna,
Brixen - Bressanone / Dolomites (I)
21 October - 30 October 2012
The International Mountain Summit creates a keyspace for an open exchange of ideas and a platform to present innovative and inspiring mountain-related projects to the public. The initiative IMS Projects itself inspires innovation and collects the best ideas for the entire mountaineering environment.
With a growing number of challenges facing the mountains and everything related to them, there are plenty of topics to be creative about: from the dramatic consequences of climate change to an increasing use of the mountains as a leisure and recreational destination as well as agricultural and tourism developments or mountaineering and outdoor sports.
Whatever the objective - new routes, new technology, a new way of experiencing the mountains or simply finding members for an expedition, the International Mountain Summit is the place to be. But IMS Projects is also about protecting the environment, reducing and avoiding waste production in the mountains and finding new concepts of sustainable farming and tourism. It is a hotspot for artists, designers and other bright minds.
All ideas are collected and evaluated in collaboration with a series of international media partners. The best projects will be rewarded with VIP tickets to the IMS and shown to the public as well as media representatives at the event.
And this is how IMS Projects works: All projects submitted must be mountain-related.

Outdoor Sports Valley, www.outdoorsportsvalley.org
Outdoor
Sports Valley refers to the outdoor sports industry area which covers
the sweep of the Alps from Grenoble to Innsbruck. Whilst this region is
not in actual fact a valley, the expression is used as a metonymy to
represent the mountain outdoor sports and snow sports industry in
general.
Annecy, with its 2018 Winter Olympics bid, its fantastic geographic location and its high density of businesses is the natural capital of the European outdoor sports area.
The Outdoor Sports Valley is defined by its economic activity, consequently its boundaries are imprecise and constantly evolving. The expression does not describe an administrative entity, but rather a region where tens of thousands are employed in the sport and leisure industry, where the head offices of most of the companies in the sector are located and, above all, a playground which is the only one of its kind on earth.
