From ideas to impact: shaping Britain's future with open innovation.

Join us for two days of innovation, collaboration, and impact. The Ordnance Survey Innovation Festival brings together developers, partners, government leaders, tech innovators, and academics to explore how location can drive progress.

The ideas generated, will show how Britain’s most trusted national asset can spark resilience, growth, and connection for people, businesses, and government.

Through hands-on sprint sessions, inspiring talks, and networking opportunities, we’ll showcase how OS’s data, partnerships, and pioneering spirit are solving real-world challenges and shaping the future of Great Britain.
