Mission
The role which sport can play in society has not yet been exercised to its full potential. That is why Spolint International:
- generates international think tank that understands the big picture of sport; including the representatives of important stakeholders from sport and sport related politics, academia, industry, media and international organizations.
- offers high quality services and other supportive activities to public and private organizations;
- provides opportunities for more horizontal integration across programs and sectors by linking civil society bodies, governmental institutions and market related companies;
- remains open to limited opportunities for convening such commissions where it can make a difference.
