In addition to being a supporting partner, for the seventh consecutive year the GSA will be sponsoring the GSA Special Prize for the Most Promising Application Idea for European GNSS. (click to enlarge)

The Galileo satellite constellation is continually expanding, and with it the need for corresponding applications. The ESNC is looking for creative GNSS-based applications that address specific business applications or have a demonstrated impact on social issues.

Winners of 30 regional and special prizes will all be in the running to win the grand prize of EUR 20,000 and a six-month incubation programme in their region of choice, with the possibility of another six-month extension.

In addition, this year the GSA is again sponsoring a Special Prize for the Most Promising Application for European GNSS, which aims to support the development of applications that rely on both EGNOS and Galileo and provide social and economic benefits.

Last year, the competition received more than 600 business cases from about 50 companies.
