The European sporting goods industry federation, Fesi, is inviting stakeholders from outside the sporting goods sector to work together to promote participation in winter sports, which is dwindling. Fesi made the proposal at its first “European Winter Summit,” which it organized on May 25 at Flanders' Bike Valley, the European cluster of bike producers in Belgium. It presented a study that identified several factors that can raise the attractiveness of winter sports activities to selected major stakeholders. A representative of the European Commission mentioned several European funding programs that can be used for this purpose.
