We nurture early-stage startups, build partnerships and uncover emerging technologies and markets where location data creates unique value. This role owns Geovation's Technology & Innovation capabilities and programme — which we call our Incubator.  It’s where embryonic ideas are explored, emerging markets are discovered, and critical insights are developed that will shape OS’s future direction. https://lnkd.in/e8GBWjna AI Accelerator Lead Lead the establishment of Ordnance Survey’s AI Accelerator – a strategic initiative designed to unlock enterprise-wide value from AI.
