An AI real-estate management platform is among the latest group aiming to benefit from Ordnance Survey’s PropTech initiative.
Cohort 22 of Geovation, which aims to harness the “power of geospatial data”, also includes a firm targeting tree-management and another using QR-enabled property information boards at street level.
The cohort marks 10 years of Geovation’s Accelerator programme, which is delivered in association with HM Land Registry (HMLR). The latest group will be tackling some of the UK’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, energy transition and challenges in the property market. They were selected following Geovation’s most competitive open call to date, with hundreds of applications from founders across the UK, reflecting growing demand for support at the intersection of data, technology and place-based innovation.
Lynne Nicholson, deputy director for data at HMLR said: “I’m so impressed by how keen the start-ups joining Cohort 22 are to tackle the real challenges facing the property market with practical, innovative ideas.
“By using land and property data in clever, real world ways, they’re creating lasting value that goes well beyond short term gains. At HM Land Registry, we’re really pleased to continue our support for founders whose work helps make land and property transactions a far better experience for all involved.”
Leamur, one of the start-ups, is an AI-powered real estate management platform for commercial tenants. By consolidating company-specific property information with third party datasets, Leamur “creates a single source of truth that surfaces insights, tracks compliance and identifies cost saving opportunities”.
Another, TreeStock, aims to address “the growing challenge of managing trees in the face of climate change, pests, disease and exponential demand”.
“Using state of the art remote sensing and AI, TreeStock creates highly accurate digital twins of individual trees at scale, to understand tree condition and make better informed management decisions.”
And VisiProperties is aiming to transform how property information is accessed at street level. Its QR enabled boards and augmented reality mobile app display live information at the kerbside.
Over the next six months, founders will take part in a programme of targeted workshops, one-to-one mentoring and technical support from the Geovation team. Sessions will focus on customer development, technology, business models, intellectual property, team building and funding readiness, alongside access to Geovation’s wider partner and investor ecosystem.
Geovation’s PropTech track, delivered in association with HMLR, backs founders applying data‑driven approaches to longstanding challenges in the property market. By focusing on transparency, efficiency and real‑world use cases, the track supports innovation that aligns with HMLR’s strategic priorities and with the aim of driving meaningful change across the sector.
