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.
