Galileo Masters Deadline Extended to July 7

The Galileo Masters competition deadline has been extended a week, until July 7. The European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC) is looking for services, products, and business innovations that use satellite navigation in everyday life.

“The ESNC submission database was originally scheduled to close this Monday at midnight (CET). As the ESNC has met with considerable interest and plenty of new registrations in the last couple of days, we decided to give participants one week of added time until 11:59 p.m. (CET) on Monday, 7 July 2014 at www.esnc.eu,” said Kathrin Sturm, Project Management (ESNC / Galileo Masters) Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen.

“Don’t miss your chance to win your share of the EUR 1 million prize pool, including cash, business incubation, coaching, patent consulting, prototyping and marketing support, access to customers, and user communities. All winners will be in the running for the grand prize of EUR 20,000 and six months of incubation at a regional centre of their choice.”

Prizes will be awarded by some of the most relevant institutional GNSS stakeholders, such as the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). In addition, partner regions from all over the world are hosting regional challenges.

In 2013, 25 partner regions offered prizes, and seven special prizes were provided by leading European industry and research partners. Entries will be assessed by the expert panels of the regions and special prize partners.

The overall winner — the Galileo Master — will be selected from among all regional and special prize winners by an international panel of high-ranking experts. The Galileo Master will be revealed at an awards ceremony in Munich, Germany, in October.
