Participants will be given the opportunity to work closely with the UK Hydrographic Office to develop a new solution for a sector that is estimated to be worth £18.5bn by 2030.

To develop your product concept, you will be given access to a world-leading Admiralty navigation products and data that is used to support international shipping.

The winner will receive around £75,000 worth of prizes, including hands-on support and marine geospatial data from the UKHO to develop an alpha product to test in the market.

To enter, UKHO is asking participants to register and then develop a presentation outlining their proposed solution. This will be reviewed by a judging panel at the UKHO who will choose a number of finalists to develop a beta product.
