Sports Without Borders is a dynamic not-for-profit with an innovative strategy of leveraging the power of sports to improve the quality of life for young people in developing countries and inner cities and create ties between different cultures. Dassault Systèmes has partnered with Sports Without Borders to help them leverage 3D as a universal media to build international awareness for Sports Without Borders' mission. Support generated through the partnership will help Sports Without Borders widen its scope of programs in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Solidarity is also a collective sport!
