Licensed city operators
Own the hour in your city.
VOLTA HOUR is selecting experienced local operators to launch and grow official city events.
How the licence works
VOLTA HOUR owns the sport, the trademarks, the rules, the rankings, the records, the technology and the international commercial system.
Licensed operators produce and commercially develop official events in approved cities.
Every official event connects to the same athlete database, the same ranking system and the same championship pathway.
Territory protection is conditional on quality standards, launch deadlines and development targets. It is not permanent and it is not unconditional.

Who we are looking for
- Demonstrable event production experience, ideally in mass participation sport or live music.
- Existing relationships with venues, municipalities or tourism bodies in the target city.
- Commercial capability: the ability to sell sponsorship locally, not just to run an event.
- Working capital sufficient to fund a first event without relying on entry revenue arriving early.
- A realistic launch date and an honest view of the local market.
