ESNC 2013: Who will be the Next Galileo Master?


The 10th edition of the annual European Satellite Navigation Competition is here again and If you are one of those GEO people who is always looking for ways to innovate and come up with new stuff in the satellite navigation domain, this is the competition that you just shouldn’t miss!
The European Satellite Navigation Competition was started ten years ago in 2004 with the purpose of encouraging new ideas and products that enhance the utilization of GNSS, Galileo in particular.
The annual competition is looking for services, products, or business innovations that use satellite navigation in everyday life. Around EUR 1 million in prizes is up for grabs, including cash prizes, business incubation, coaching, patent consulting, prototyping and marketing support, access to customers and user communities, and publicity in the satellite navigation network.
In the last ten years more than 3500 innovators have participated in this competition. 1 Million EUR is up for grabs and in case you still are looking for inspiration, here’s where you can start

The best thing about the competition is you could be an individual entrepreneur or a research student or even a team from a corporate, everyone’s invited to participate. Not only european citizens or nationals from another countries living in Europe. Only the name limits itself to Europe, the competition is open to everyone!
The overall winner would be titled “Galileo Master” besides walking away with EUR 20000 and the opportunity to turn your idea into a business, courtesy an incubation program in the region of your choice!

Dirk Elias of Portugal was named Galileo Master for his entry, “Seamless Navigation Through Ultra Low Frequency Magnetic Field Communication (ULF-MC).” in 2012. A solution that could make Indoor Navigation so much more accurate. The Submissions for 2013 are open until June 30.
