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 a
unique 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.
