Christian Theil, CEO - turfcoach:
We are very happy to have convinced LaSource’s team to work with our startup and put turfgrass into the spotlight. LaSource has a remarkable track record and is filled with highly qualified experts. They share our passion for the product and the values to improve the beautiful game for everyone, making this partnership a natural fit for us.

turfcoach, the innovative German startup, combines agricultural and sport sciences with the power of AI. Their journey began with the identification and recognition of the challenges faced by groundskeepers in effective management of playing surfaces. To follow, turfcoach CEO Christian Theil entered the AHEAD programme by Fraunhofer to test and develop new innovative sensor technologies that could measure turf conditions in 2021. The success of this development led to the creation of turfcoach in 2022. By understanding the current status of how football clubs manage their sports turf and surfaces, turfcoach carried out in-depth research with leading experts using innovative technologies and machine learning. Today turfcoach's technology has been featured in the Stadium innovation report by DFL and recognised by multiple international sports tech competitions.
