Accelerator Programme

Empowering early-stage entrepreneurs to bring well-validated, data-driven solutions to market.

The award-winning Geovation Accelerator Programme is designed to support early-stage entrepreneurs with well-validated ideas to go-to-market with land or property data-driven solutions. In association with Ordnance Survey and HM Land Registry, it has supported over 150 startups since its inception.

The programme’s content is structured to help founders prioritise and expand their thinking across technology, customer and business model. This support comes in the form of both internal and external business advice, subject matter expertise, and an ecosystem that fosters an environment for founders to thrive in.

Applications are divided into two tracks: GeoTech and PropTech.

Geovation is a hard-working, fun and entrepreneurial community, and that’s something that can’t be overstated: sometimes an insight shared over a coffee in the breakout area can save you two months of hard graft.
