Long celebrated for entertainment, Las Vegas is now gaining momentum as a proving ground for the next era of sports innovation. From Formula 1 and the Super Bowl to Esports championships and global tech summits, the city is attracting world-class events and using them to drive deeper investments in infrastructure, technology, and economic development.

Sports technology is gaining serious ground in Las Vegas. From smart venues and performance analytics to wearable tech and immersive fan platforms, the region is becoming a launchpad for the future of sports. These advancements rely on consistent access to products, talent, and logistics, and that’s where the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA) plays a critical role, connecting businesses to the resources that help them scale.

Why This Matters to Trade and Tech Leaders

As sports tech evolves, it’s driving demand across global industries—including logistics, advanced manufacturing, cloud services, and cybersecurity:

  • Sensors, AV systems, and smart tools are moving through international supply chains and into stadiums at scale.
  • New and retrofitted venues need integrated systems and custom-built tech.
  • Cloud services and cybersecurity are now part of core stadium operations.
  • International events in Las Vegas involve cross-border sourcing, customs clearance, and logistics strategy.

LVGEA works directly with companies in these industries—helping identify strategic locations, align with available incentives, and connect to opportunities in a fast-growing market.

Where Innovation Is Tested

Las Vegas offers something few markets can: a live, real-time testing environment. Stadiums like Allegiant and T-Mobile Arena are deploying tech that tracks performance, manages access, and enhances the fan experience. These venues offer measurable use cases for companies that are ready to scale.

Use Tools That Power Global Trade

Businesses moving components across borders can access Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) #89, administered through LVGEA. Companies that qualify can defer or reduce import duties, streamline customs, and boost cash flow. For those dealing in sports tech hardware and electronics, FTZ #89 adds efficiency and creates a competitive edge.

This Is the Moment to Act

Las Vegas is now a national player in sports tech and global events, but this momentum is only gaining speed. With infrastructure in place, a growing talent pipeline, competitive incentives, and tools like FTZ #89, the region is primed for business.

If your company operates in trade, technology, supply chain, or advanced manufacturing, Southern Nevada is a strategic place to start what’s next.
