Picture a bustling workplace in the heart of London – a vibrant hub where geospatial pioneers, PropTech visionaries and data enthusiasts converge…

This isn’t your typical office, it’s a launchpad for success.  

Here’s what sets the Geovation Hub apart: 

  1. Community at Its Core: Beyond desks, offices and whiteboards, the Geovation Hub emphasises community. It is a place for conversations over coffee, all-day brainstorming sessions, and collaboration that drives progress. Startups work together, challenge each other, and grow collectively. 
  1. Alumni Influence: The hub benefits from the experiences of its alumni – startups that have succeeded, adapted and achieved their goals. These former members offer valuable insights and mentorship, helping to shape the current community. 
  1. Chance Encounters: The design of the hub encourages spontaneous interactions that can lead to new ideas, partnerships, and breakthroughs. The integration of geospatial data with these encounters creates an environment where startups can thrive. 
  1. Workspace with Purpose: It’s not just about square footage: it’s about purposeful design. Geovation provides 12 months of desk space, meeting rooms, and a canvas for innovation. Whether you’re coding algorithms or sketching business models, the workspace supports and amplifies your vision. 

Don’t just take our word for it. Listen to past and present members of our accelerator and hear what they have to say from their experiences…
