#MyGalileoSolution is a unique opportunity for innovators to show how EUspace is pivotal for the development of solutions to address current and future challenges. The deadline has been extended to October 14th 2020 23:59 CEST. Roll up your sleeves, innovators!
The GSA is calling for fresh thinkers and entrepreneurs across all types of applications to develop a location-based solution be it an app or other solutions, such as wearables or robotics that leverage the enhanced positioning and timing services of Galileo. Participants wishing to develop a mobile application are free to opt for either Android or iOS and will have to choose among four innovation areas, before submitting their ideas to either Track 1 (From Idea to Prototype), Track 2 (From Prototype to Product) or both (the same idea can only be submitted to one of the two tracks)!
Four Innovation areas underpinning Europe’s priorities
Crisis and Emergency Response: Crises ranging from natural disasters to earthquakes and pandemics can arise unexpectedly and affect people, economies and the environment. When a crisis hits, precise location, navigation and timing are key to assess the damage, respond promptly, deliver critical services and plan the way towards recovery. GNSS driven robotics, drones, IoT, and mobile applications have a crucial role in emergency response.
Smart Transport for Green Deal: The EU Green Deal sets out the path towards making Europe the first climate neutral continent by 2050. Sustainable, green transportation lies in the heart of this ambitious plan. Whether it is smart cities, smart transports or automated logistics, GNSS has a key role for reducing Co2 emissions, optimizing the efficient use of resources, and mitigating the environmental footprint.
Solutions for Digital Age: The use of geolocation and other geospatial data such as Earth Observation imagery combined with Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality can create applications and services that can support EU citizens in their daily lives, leisure and create new business outlets. The increase position accuracy and timing provided by Galileo is key in launching the next generation of services that will revolutionise life as we know it.
Cybersecurity: With cybercrime on the rise, businesses and citizens are looking for solutions to protect their assets, services and products. Galileo services can be used for location authentication to reduce jamming/spoofing risks, in areas as diverse as automotive, logistics, mobile payments, or maritime applications.
#MyGalileoSolution is the biggest competition ever organized by the European GNSS Agency; the winning prize pool of nearly €1.5 million is spread out across 50 teams and 6 finalists, with awards ranging from €15.000 to €60.000.
