UK SatNav Challenge (International Competition) – Open for Your Ideas (1 May until 31 July 2008)

I hear you say “What has Satellite Navigation, Galileo or this International Competition got to do with me or my business”?
How about €4.1 million investment – this is what iOpener received to develop its technology to map real-world competitions such as Formula 1 through utilising Galileo (SatNav) to create an artificial world for gamers.

GPS (Satellite Navigation) has revolutionised the communication/navigation marketplace, but its Europe’s implementation of a new system (Galileo) with its Public Service, which will make it go cosmic.

So how could you utilise this competition in the development/creation of your own business?
The UK SatNav Challenge (European Satellite Navigation Competition) has over the last 4 years driven forward new ideas into commercially viable markets.

These include:
• Road Safety/Traffic Management
• Monitoring Vulnerable People and Lone Workers
• Environmental, Renewables, Climate Change
• Sports Management

This year it has an international appeal with Taiwan and Australasia joining the programme.
And it’s Simple!

HBIC - UK Space Innovation Centre invites anyone who has an idea/business that has commercial potential and which touches upon (utilises) Satellite Navigation to register their ideas

Following the competition all participants will be given business support to take their ideas forward commercially – and as they say “The rest is (are) HISTORY”.

To see what you can gain / benefit from this opportunity, please review the presentations from the UK SatNav Challenge 2008 Launch, which was sponsored by EADS Astrium and hosted at the London Science Museum.
