European Enterprise Awards 2025

Aug22136 17. Best AI-Based Sports Video Solutions Company 2025 With the digital sphere having become an increasingly important part of the experience for sports fans, Forzasys’ work in revolutionising the sector through digital innovation has positioned it as a sports technology leader – one transforming how content is not only created but also managed and consumed. As its award-winning sports streaming platform is again recognised for its novelty, CEO Pål Halvorsen was on hand for more about the company’s strides in automated sports content creation. A video ecosystem designed to provide complex and integrated services for sports teams and leagues alike, the purpose of Forzasys is to bring together and simplify the multifaceted world of sports technology, using cutting-edge streaming solutions, distributed systems, and even AI to achieve this aim. The company began as a product of a collaboration between Simula Research Laboratory and The Arctic University of Norway (UiT), reflecting the innovation that is today the cornerstone of its entire operation. Now, Forzasys’ work with large-scale multimedia systems has helped it to create prototypes for sports teams at both national and elite levels, allowing them to provider a richer experience for their fans and partners alike. Given it is a fully integrated system – coined “the one system to rule them all” by Pål – it is no surprise that Forzasys is more than up to date on the latest industry trends, including the primary one of teams looking to produce and distribute as much video information as they can – at a high frequency rate and with minimal effort. Forzasys’ system strongly supports this trend, allowing sports teams to store, find, and select their data, before sharing the final content across media channels. Forzify – the name of this live and ondemand video management solution – is a cross-platform system of databases for metadata, web servers, and search engines, and it is able to run machines either inhouse or via the cloud. Whilst this makes over-the-top streaming a breeze, the true power of this offering is the step it takes beyond traditional streaming/video delivery, with Forzify able to be used as a searchable archive, enabling fans at home to experience the sports content that they love in new and exciting ways. Making this possible is the full-service nature of the Forzify ecosystem, which covers everything from back-end media asset management to a front-end system for fans and supporters to access materials. As the award title bestowed upon Forzasys suggests, the Forzify system is elevated considerably by a suite of AI solutions, with these supporting clipping, cropping, and automatic summary generation – amongst others. An extension of this capability goes a step further by detecting, clipping, and then packaging the best moments from a sports game, putting it into tailored formats (going from a traditional TV format to more specific social media formats) to make it instantly sharable across socials. Boosting fan engagement whilst also significantly cutting down the amount of time spent editing, Forzify benefits both teams and leagues and their fans alike, with the former able to access seamless tools to help them publish playlists, embed highlights, and sync game or player stats with video and the latter making it possible for fans to search for and relive their favourite moments from a game or catch up on the highlights. On the back of its encompassing offering in the world of both real-time sports video statistics and automated sports content creation, Forzasys is able to boast of a number of success stories across its current deployments, which include elite soccer and ice-hockey leagues in Scandinavia. Pål added: “Our system is developed with sport (specifically football) organisations’ needs in mind, forming both capabilities and workflows according to their specification.” With research and academia remaining at the heart of Forzasys’ innovation in AI-powered sports video production, Forzasys’ goal for 2026 is to continue to simplify, optimise, monetise, and increase the control of the video and meta data of its sports clients, especially in countries beyond Scandinavia thanks to the strong international connections. Ultimately, with its award-winning Forzify sports streaming platform in tow, Forzasys is making professional sports league/club video management more accessible and streamlined, a feat which has solidified its recognition with an award title in this feature.
