Futnow partners with Aquinov to protect and develop its innovations

Futnow and Aquinov partnership — intellectual property
22 Sep. 2026 Bordeaux, France

As part of its technological development, Futnow has chosen Aquinov to structure and strengthen its intellectual property strategy.

Specialised in AI-driven sports performance tracking, Futnow develops computer vision models capable of automatically analysing matches and turning this data into performance statistics, at costs significantly lower than those of currently available technologies. This approach opens the way to new uses for players and stakeholders across sport.

In a sector where technological innovation is a strategic asset, protecting this know-how is a key challenge. Aquinov's support allows the company to benefit from dedicated intellectual property expertise and to embed the protection of its innovations in a structured approach.

This expertise also draws on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by high-potential startups. Aquinov has notably supported the Sportech Rematch since its early days — founded in 2017 on technology for automatically capturing, editing and broadcasting the highlights of sporting events — and has supported the development of its international business.

With over 20 years of roots in the Bordeaux technology ecosystem, Aquinov works closely with startups and innovation players; the firm is notably a partner of La French Tech Bordeaux. This expertise also extends to DeepTech startups at growth stages, through to financing operations, in particular to audit, secure and enhance the value of their technological assets and intellectual property.

Through this choice, Futnow consolidates the foundations of its development and continues its ambition to make performance analysis more accessible through artificial intelligence and computer vision.
