Looking for new ideas within positioning
Finally it has started. Galileo Masters - the European Business Idea Competition about new positioning services - is for the first time in the Øresund region and Øresund IT is hosting the competition. On the 29th of May we had the Kick Offs - one in Denmark and one in Sweden - and on the 1st of May the database opened for new contributions. Since it's the first time in our region we are very excited and hope that we will have a lot of high quality ideas that can compete on a European level.
The European Satellite Navigation Competition is an international innovation contest that awards the best ideas for applications in satellite navigation. The competition has been organised by Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen since 2004 and is oriented toward companies, entrepreneurs, research institutes, universities, and private individuals. Having begun with three partner regions, the ESNC will this year be held in 17 high-tech regions all over the world: Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, Niedersachsen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Nice / Sophia Antipolis, Prague, South Holland, Madrid, Lombardy, Australia, Taiwan, and Great Britain, as well as newcomers Øresund, Gipuzkoa, Switzerland, and Israel.
The ESNC is intended to further strengthen international collaboration among these regions, particular with regard to the development of applications and services made possible by the European satellite navigation system Galileo. The competition is held under the patronage of the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology and is supported by Messe München GmbH. The main winners of the ESNC – the GALILEO Master, the special topic prize winners, and the 17 regional winners – will be recognised at a state reception to be held at the Munich Residenz on October 21, 2009.
During spring we will arrange a number of workshops in order to bring new ideas to the competition.
