The Lucentum Basketball HUB is pleased to announce the launch of its pioneering networking project, which has been designed to unite basketball clubs, academies, Federations and sports-business stakeholders from across the globe. This innovative HUB will serve as a central point for collaborations, events, education and shared growth, offering a unique space for basketball organizations to connect, learn and succeed together on and off the court.
A Cornerstone
The Lucentum Basketball HUB’s objective is to establish a global basketball community where shared knowledge, best practices, and strategic partnerships result in collective and individual success.

Through the HUB, members will have access to networking opportunities, professional webinars and workshops led by highly qualified lecturers, event collaborations, and strategic partnerships with companies that will be invited to present their products and their services to our community.
Benefiting of these tools and the expertise that the members are going to share by presenting their projects, the challenges they are facing and how they respond, Lucentum Basketball HUB aims to support the development of young talents (players and professionals), enhance coaching methods from youth to pro level, promote community engagement, smart marketing, and to facilitate innovation through sports science.
In the same time, it will also open pathways for players to transition from youth to professional levels, ensuring the sustainable growth of basketball as a global sport, and to coaches and professionals to pursue international opportunities through the connections between the HUB members.

Members will communicate via a private WhatsApp channel, a private LinkedIn group and through monthly online working meetings.
Additionally, members will benefit from twice-monthly online workshops and presentations, which will feature coaches, managers, scouts, physical trainers, sports psychologists, and companies developing basketball-related businesses. They will present their services and products to HUB members, offering them exclusive benefits. Examples of potential partners and speakers include BasketNews (the most important basketball media outlet in Europe), Menuba (a nutrition platform coordinated by Ingacio Escribano Ott, Baskonia), EYBL (European Youth Basketball League), Sport Arena (one of the leading 3×3 event organizers) or Tripl3 Shot (Dr. Dish distributor and event organizer), among others.
Lucentum Basketball HUB members will have the opportunity to invite their own collaborators to these conferences and presentations, thus promoting the project at the national level and sharing educational opportunities in sports business with their own community.
What’s Next
The HUB is committed to expanding its global reach and continuing to attract new members from all the continents. As more clubs, Federations, academies, and basketball professionals join the HUB, the potential for collaboration and success will only grow, making this a game-changing initiative for the sport worldwide.
One of the strategic objectives is to ensure that by the end of 2025, there is a representative from every European country in the HUB, with a strong presence from Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Australia.

The organizers from Lucentum Alicante – Asier Alonso, sports director and Ionuț Georgescu, technical director and coordinator of the Lucentum Basketball HUB – are responsible for managing access to the HUB and issuing invitations to speakers for the online sessions.
Ionuț Georgescu: “The term TEAM has to go beyond the white lines of the basketball court and healthy competition on and off the court. That’s why Lucentum Basketball HUB is based on the fact that in the market there is a huge demand from organizations to connect, exchange experiences, get involved in projects and attract the business side close to basketball. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about Federations, professional clubs or academies: the goals and needs are similar and revolve around one thing – knowledge. And as we all know, knowledge is power. We are certain that the experience of the HUB members and the professionalism of the special guests will enable us to present and develop opportunities. We know that the smartest person in the room is the room itself, so we are looking forward to the working meetings where we will put the synergies into action!”
