    The open court: How layered APIs are turning padel clubs into connected businesses

    #Padel World Summit 2026

    2026-05-26 12:00 2026-05-26 12:25 Europe/Madrid The open court: How layered APIs are turning padel clubs into connected businesses

    The future of the padel club is not being built as a closed product, but as a platform. In this session, Playtomic unveils its vision for an open, layered ecosystem — from bookings and payments to communications, automations, coaching or marketing — connected through APIs that allow any business to add value to the club and the player. From app to operating system of padel: how the integration between Playtomic, clubs and partners multiplies revenue, elevates the experience, and turns the ecosystem itself into the industry's true competitive advantage.

    Filip Kollar, Regional Director Central Europe at Playtomic

    From Waste to Wear: Turning Padel Waste into Circular Performance by Infinite Athletic

    #Padel World Summit 2026

    2026-05-27 10:35 2026-05-27 10:45 Europe/Madrid From Waste to Wear: Turning Padel Waste into Circular Performance by Infinite Athletic

    Every tennis and padel player generates waste — strings, balls, and plastic tubes — yet almost none of it is recovered. Infinite Athletic (by Aurevium) is changing that. In this session, we will present a fully operational circular system that transforms sports waste collected in clubs into new high-performance apparel, 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. From on-court collection to recycled materials and final products, we demonstrate how circularity can be implemented at scale — today. We will also show how clubs become active sustainability hubs, improving their environmental footprint, brand image, and player engagement through a simple, visible solution. This is not a concept. It is already deployed — and ready to scale.

    #Padel World Summit 2026

    2026-05-27 10:45 2026-05-27 10:55 Europe/Madrid PadelLevels

    PadelLevels is the rating infrastructure connecting players, clubs, booking platforms and competitions through one unified, accurate level. Players now expect a rating that travels with them. One profile. One level. Fair matches wherever they play. Built on the foundations of SquashLevels, one of the most widely adopted and validated rating systems in racket sports, PadelLevels brings proven accuracy and scale into padel. From beginner to professional, players can track progress, understand their performance through data, compare themselves globally, and connect with others in the game. For clubs, federations and platforms, it creates a shared language of competition. Better match-making, stronger engagement, and a more connected ecosystem. We believe an accurate level is the cornerstone of every good match. And increasingly, ratings are becoming independent infrastructure — sitting across the sport, not inside any single product. Play anywhere. Get a fair match. Know your level.

    Rethinking Padel Balls: Performance, Cost & Waste, by Preserva

    2026-05-27 11:45 2026-05-27 11:55 Europe/Madrid Rethinking Padel Balls: Performance, Cost & Waste, by Preserva

    Padel is growing fast - but so is ball consumption. Once opened, balls quickly lose pressure, driving constant replacement across clubs and players. Preserva is redifining this. Our automatic pressuriser keeps balls performing for longer, reducing waste and lowering costs without compromising play. In this session, we’ll show how a simple innovation can unlock real impact at scale- improving the player experience while introducing a more efficient, sustainable approach to ball usage across the padel ecosystem.
