General information

Short Summary

A Belgian company offers a modular smart locker solution that enables municipalities, sports facilities and public spaces to provide self-service access to sports and play equipment through a mobile web application without requiring an app installation. The company seeks distributors and suppliers of sports infrastructure across Europe under commercial agreements.

Full Description

A Belgian company has developed UrbanCubby, a modular smart locker system that makes sports and play equipment easily accessible in public spaces. The solution enables municipalities, schools, sports parks and recreational areas to provide self-service access to shared equipment through a mobile web application, eliminating the need for users to install a dedicated app.
The locker system has a modular LEGO-like design, allowing installations to be expanded as demand grows. The accompanying software platform manages user authentication, equipment availability and remote monitoring.
The solution is already commercially deployed in Belgium, where it has demonstrated successful adoption by municipalities and public organisations looking to promote physical activity, increase the use of public sports infrastructure and simplify equipment management.
The company is now seeking distributors, suppliers and integrators of sports infrastructure throughout Europe. Partners are expected to introduce the solution to municipalities, cities, schools and sports organisations, integrate it into their existing portfolio and support local commercial development.
