About the Challenge
First launched in 2003, the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge is focused on driving the development and visibility of innovative navigation solutions for wireless devices. The Challenge has become the premier event in the LBS industry and a global symbol of LBS innovation and opportunity. From wireless business applications to sports, travel and security, integrating the accuracy and richness of NAVTEQ digital map data facilitates the timely evolution of the next wave of LBS using wireless position (GPS) technology.
Winners are chosen by a panel of distinguished judges in three regions: The Americas, Europe-Middle East-Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Since the launch of the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge in 2003, approximately 25% of the semifinalist companies have gone on to receive venture capital funding or launched commercially-distributed applications, many on major wireless carriers.
