The 2,000m², four-storey flagship facility at the entrance to Swansea Bay Sports Park will bring together public, private, and academic partners to create a first-of-its-kind innovation ecosystem – designed to improve population health, elevate elite and community sport, and drive economic growth across the region and beyond.
