Veo is the simple and portable sports camera. In Veo, our goal is to help every player and team take their game and sport up a level. We do it with a camera that can automatically record sport and a state-of-the-art analysis platform, all powered by AI.

Recording grassroots sport used to be an inconvenient task. It required an elevated platform, an expensive camera, and a skilled camera operator who could stay focused throughout the entire game. After a match or training session, a qualified person should cut and edit videos, and clubs needed a server with space for numerous full recordings of matches. With a combination of advanced AI technology and ease of use, we have made this whole process easy and available for everybody.

Now, Veo provides the opportunity for clubs, teams and players to live-stream games at the touch of a button in football. This allows friends, family, and fans to experience the greatest moments when it happens and when it matters - in real time!


“Attending the conference is an essential event to network, share good practice and keep abreast of trends and upcoming events in sport, health, well-being and physical education.”

“This was my first AoC Sport Curriculum Conference and I was a little apprehensive as to whether I would gain anything from it - how wrong I was! The breakout sessions were informative and the speakers shared some relevant and current information that I am thrilled to take back to my colleagues. I will be back next year!”

“Attending the sport conference was an enriching experience. The chance to network with colleagues from other colleges was invaluable. I appreciated the diverse perspectives and insights shared by the speakers, which broadened my understanding and inspired fresh ideas. Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect, learn, and grow within the sports community.”
