Galileo Masters – the European Satallite Navigation Competition

Do you have a business idea in the field of positioning services? Do you feel that the idea has a commercial value but needs help to exploit it? Join the business idea contest Galileo Masters.

Øresund IT and the network within Øresund Science Region arranges the competition for the first time in the region. The winners from our region will be rewarded with the possibility to get access to some of the incubators in the region. All details for the competition is published on the European website.

What was started in the Free State of Bavaria in 2004, has, within the last few years, matured into a global network for high-tech regions and international technical experts. With the first time participation of Gipuzkoa/Spain and Øresund/ Sweden and Denmark, the ESNC community already encompasses 15 partner regions. This network is strongly geared towards the requirements of the industry and, together with the partner regions, supports rapid implementation of the numerous product and service innovations from the past few years. Also the continuing support by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA) esteems the initiative for stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship in the European GNSS markets.

 Under the patronage of the Bavarian State Ministry for Economics, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology, Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen gave the starting shot for an international ideas competition in 2004, which aimed at the early development of applications that are based on satellite navigation systems available today, like for example GPS, and which should gain a significant enhancement from Galileo.



With the special topic prizes sponsored by industrial and institutional partners, the ESNC has also established itself as a think tank for industryspecific needs, as 80% of all participants in 2008 took the opportunity to submit their ideas for both regional evaluation and consideration for one of the special topic prizes.
