E+H advised Austria Ski Team Handels- und BeteiligungsgesmbH, a subsidiary of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV), on the legal implementation of a joint venture concerning the online platform Skizeit. As part of the partnership, "Skizeit Time & Data FlexCo" was founded, a company that aims to promote the digital development of Austrian winter sports.

The new joint venture will further develop the well-known online platform https://www.skizeit.at/, which has been established as the leading results platform in Austrian skiing since 2002 and plays an important role for clubs and local ski associations with over 2,000 races and 18 million page views per year. The joint venture is designed to make it easier to organize and hold competitions, with comprehensive digital tools such as referee management and a coach and instructor database. In addition, solutions for timekeeping, performance analysis, and strategic partnerships will be integrated into the company.

"We are grateful for the professional and committed support of E+H, which has contributed significantly to the successful execution of this joint venture," says Fabian Larcher, authorized signatory of Austria Ski Team Handels- und BeteiligungsgesmbH. "This joint venture represents a significant step in the digitalization strategy of the ÖSV and will sustainably advance the development of Austrian winter sports," says Roman Kuss, Managing Director of "Skizeit Time & Data FlexCo".

Johannes Feilmair, Partner at E+H, adds: "We are proud to have been able to provide the ÖSV with legal support for this forward-looking project. It was an exciting and enriching collaboration."
