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 grant funding
- free use of the Geovation co-working spaces in Edinburgh and London
- access to a community of over 1200 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.
They can also access a wide range of extra perks. This includes development support from the Geovation technical team and AWS credits.
