More than Moore Contest is a contest of innovative IT hardware projects. Navigine Team became one of the finalists of this contest.

Finally, Navigine became the resident of the Skolkovo IT cluster. There are lots of advantages in being a Skolkovo resident: access to the worldwide network of connections and mentors, Skolkovo’s programs and competitions, the strong PR support, and of course the opportunity to optimize tax expenses and receive grants!

From 27th to 30th of October an international conference on indoor positioning and indoor navigation (IPIN 2014) took place in Busan city, South Korea. Navigine researchers couldn’t miss it and presented a report on “Efficient Localization Using Different Mean Offset Models in Gaussian Processes”, describing basic principles of functioning of our navigation platform “Navigine Indoor”.

The problem that indoor navigation solves is quite obvious and important. Nevertheless, at the moment there is only limited number of cases with implementation of indoor navigation into mass or corporate sector.

StartupVillage 2014 is the second annual Russian startup conference for innovators and entrepreneurs, Skolkovo foundation and partners.

Today Navigine team has presented the opportunities of our high accurate indoor navigation service at the 21st Saint Petersburg International Conference on Integrated Navigation Systems.

There are more than 300 malls in Moscow and Moscow region with total area about 16 million m2. In ABI Research’s latest report, “Indoor LBS: Applications, Advertising, and Revenues”, senior analyst Patrick Connolly comments that in 2014 a number of major retailers are finalizing their pilot projects in indoor navigation and soon we will see a lot of system installations. This trend is also supported by late developments in iBeacons/BLE technologies and readiness of consumers to increase the share of online purchases through a smartphone.
