Geovation Accelerator Programme

Our Accelerator Programme offers 12 months bespoke support to help early-stage founders grow their business. Start-ups receive up to £20K in equity-free grant funding and the equivalent of over £100k in perks during the Programme including workshops, coaching and access to data from Ordnance Survey and HM Land Registry.

GeoTech Track

The GeoTech track of our Accelerator Programme is backed by Ordnance Survey. GeoTech is the term used to describe startups using location data, to create innovative products and services. If your company, or idea, utilises geospatial data in any shape, way, or form, it falls under the GeoTech umbrella!

This year on our GeoTech track we’re seeking start-ups from the following sectors: Energy, Environment, Sustainability, Transport, Health and Well-being, and Resilience and Protection of life. Find out more about the start-ups we’re looking for on our GeoTech track here.

The goal of PropTech is to make everything about owning, leasing, or working in a building unique, easier, and more efficient through the application of technology.
