What is Geovation Scotland?

Geovation Scotland is a collaboration between Registers of Scotland and Ordnance Survey. It exists to accelerate property and location innovation in Scotland.

Our aim is to:

  • bring about economic benefit
  • promote open innovation
  • provide early-stage tech start-ups with supported access to data and other expertise
  • harness the opportunities that come from working alongside the Scottish tech, geospatial, and property communities

We provide support for early-stage tech start-ups working with land and property or location data. We do this in two main ways.

A funded accelerator programme

This offers up to 12 months incubation support for start-ups looking to develop their business.

The successfully selected start-ups can access a wide range of resources including:

  • supported access to Registers of Scotland and Ordnance Survey data
  • up to £15k equity-free programme funding
  • free use of the Geovation co-working spaces in Edinburgh and London
  • access to a community of over 1900 members UK-wide
  • a mentorship programme

Following the above, we also offer a bespoke programme of content tailored to their skills and business needs. This can range from financial modelling to investment support to marketing and sales.
