Geovation announces 20th cohort for award-winning Accelerator Programme

OS pioneered the Geovation hub 15 years ago to foster a geospatial ecosystem where startups could solve real-world challenges using location data, which underpins many innovative digital solutions. Geovation has made that data even more accessible, enabling startups to create impactful solutions with new ways of using data and AI technologies that drive positive change, increase efficiencies, and boost the economy.

The latest cohort comprises six GeoTech and PropTech startups, each tackling unique challenges through software solutions and technology to address environmental issues, streamline property transactions, and improve building management. The GeoTech branch is supported by OS, while the PropTech branch is backed by HMLR.
