The potential benefits of the programme for the property industry, and wider economy, on the back of the UK's promising and innovative PropTech industry are not to be underestimated. We're excited to be supporting the next wave of PropTech businesses through Geovation and doing our part to help the UK realise those benefits.
Alex Wrottesley, Head of Geovation
To succeed, start-ups need nurturing, and access to experience, expertise and quality data. That is what we do with our programmes. We provide warm and welcoming environments that encourage them to thrive. Without that intense level of support, it is much harder for start-ups to make an impact.
We are eager to hear from and help ambitious start-ups that use location and/or property data, and who have a clearly defined business plan but lack the resources needed to deliver it.
