The Galileo Masters
The Galileo Masters is a global competition that supports the transformation of technological advancements, driven by Satellite Navigation into successful society-oriented applications. Its global network provides the best cases with multifold support and helps them evolve both technologically and commercially. The fundamental mission of this competition is to encourage innovators and motivate them to develop market-driven applications that use Satellite Navigation technologies in everyday life.
Each Challenge focuses on a specific topic, and therefore offers a different reward. The Galileo Prizes represent either a region or a country. The participants may choose their desired Galileo Prize additionally to the Challenge based on the rewards offered by the Galileo Prize partners as the Galileo Prizes do not have a specific focus. Every Galileo Prize has its own landing page to inform the participant about the benefits of the Prize Partner and the reward.
Galileo Masters Partner Challenges:
- GSA Space for our Planet Challenge: GSA is looking for solutions that use space data to help overcome climate change and environmental degradation, which are an existential threat to our children in Europe and worldwide.
- GSA Space for Fun Challenge: GSA is looking for new solutions using space data from Galileo and EGNOS for the gaming, sports, leisure and tourism markets.
- GSA Space for Being Safe & Healthy Challenge: GSA is looking for solutions using downstream space data (e.g. Galileo/EGNOS and/or Copernicus) as key enablers to develop innovative applications to secure our safety and health in times of pandemics.
- ESA Space Solutions Scale-Up Challenge: ESA Space Solutions is looking for high-potential start-ups with products/services based upon Galileo that are primed to enter the scale-up phase.
- DLR BMVI Challenge – Next-Level Navigation: Autonomy, Hi-Accuracy, Cyber Security & Safety: DLR & BMVI are looking for solutions that enable automation and autonomy with reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) and strengthen PNT with smart approaches while providing maximum benefit to the user community.
- University Challenge – From the Lecture Hall to the Board Room: The Galileo Masters University Challenge addresses students and research associates with a background in aerospace and GNSS-specific courses of study, in particular with the aim of fostering the transformation of bright ideas into commercial ventures.
- Galileo Living Lab Prize: The Galileo Living Lab Prize is looking for developers and users to submit proposals for GNSS-related products and services that are ready to be tested and ideally implemented in a suitable Living Lab.
