The Geovation Ecosystem
Step into the future of geospatial innovation with our membership model crafted to support and connect our diverse community of innovators.
As part of Geovation’s ongoing development, we will implement a new membership model. This is part of a phased rollout, with further developments in 2025, and starting with three types of membership, each with tailored benefits and privileges. These will be annual memberships with both online and physical perks, plus benefits and add-on packages available for paying members.
Our new membership model will help improve and tailor our services, by better understanding our community and bringing them together, to unlock innovation and growth. This new ecosystem ensures we can support all our valued members, from individual innovators and early stage startups to big corporations, providing help and resources in a way that is fair and effective for everyone. Members will get access to data, exclusive resources, events, and networking opportunities in the Geovation hub, designed to support growth and facilitate connections.
Below is an outline of the membership types and the benefits on offer.
If any additional perks and benefits are of interest, you have the option to opt for a higher tier of membership. For example, if you’re an ‘Ecosystem Explorer’ and feel that ‘Innovator Pro’ would be more beneficial to you to book desks or rooms in the Geovation hub, you can do so.
Your eligibility for membership level will depend on certain factors, such as size of your organisation, and annual turnover. Existing members will hear from us closer to the implementation, with details of your membership.
Starting this November, we will begin transitioning all members onto the new platform. We plan to release the next phase of the ecosystem next year, bringing with it additional offerings to each membership. Looking ahead to 2025, we aim to launch more memberships for public sector, investors, third sector and other ecosystems, with further add-ons. As always, we remain open to customer feedback, as this will help us in the development of later phases.
If you want to get in touch and ask any questions about the upcoming changes to your membership, or discuss Ecosystem membership options please email us at ecosystem@geovation.uk
