These two innovative start-ups have decided to combine their expertise to create a unique synergy, making their technologies compatible by offering sports fans an immersive and motivating experience.
Founded with the mission of countering the monotony of indoor training, Kinomap has established itself as the world leader in geolocated video. The platform has expanded its offering, and now offers a comprehensive application tailored to all sporting profiles, from beginners to more experienced athletes.
With a storage of over 40,000 interactive videos, Kinomap allows users to immerse themselves in real-life stages from the four corners of the globe. Every training session becomes a captivating adventure, adding a unique dimension to the sporting experience and an inexhaustible source of motivation.
Founded with the mission of encouraging the practice of sport and getting as many people as possible ‘on the move’, Sport Heroes has established itself as a key player in software and digital community applications around sport and well-being. Building on this expertise, it has developed the United Heroes program, which is now used in over 200 companies (including almost half of the CAC40) to encourage employee commitment based on the values of sport, teamwork and impact.
Sport Heroes also supplies its software and applications platform on a white label basis to major companies such as Orange, Toyota and L’Occitane, as well as to major sports brands such as Sport 2000 and World Marathon Majors.
Unprecedented compatibility for a transformed sporting experience

From now on, users of both platforms will be able to enjoy seamless integration of their sporting experiences. Training sessions carried out on Kinomap will be automatically synchronised with the Sport Heroes applications, providing a consolidated and enriching experience.
This compatibility aims to further stimulate user engagement by encouraging them to push their limits while enjoying a unique immersive and social experience.
