Incubator Space for GNSS Companies

GRACE, based on the University of Nottingham Innovation Park (UNIP) has opened up incubator space specifically for businesses in the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) sector. Located within the Geospatial Building, GRACE will now provide an environment for organisations operating in GNSS related domains to incubate new ventures and transform innovative ideas into business opportunities.

 
Speaking about the new incubator space, Gerrard Wilcoxson, marketing and communications coordinator at GRACE said; "This is a superb facility with access to state of the art simulation, testing and training facilities. The incubator space provides a considerable competitive advantage to companies keen to leverage the enormous opportunities that working alongside academics and established businesses within the sector will offer.

"In order to qualify, organisations must operate in the GNSS, Geospatial, Location Based or PNT (Position, Navigation and Timing) domains and have high growth potential or be working on national or international projects ideally connecting industry with academia."

The mission of GRACE is to secure international leadership in research, training and industrial applications development of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) within the East Midlands.

GRACE combines the research and technological expertise of the Institute of Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy (IESSG) and the Centre for Geospatial Science (CGS) with state of the art simulation, testing and training facilities, touch-down space and office accommodation, which now includes the incubation space.
