NavLive, a startup developing AI scanning devices for architects, property developers and construction firms, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Trimble accelerator programme.

The company, which recently secured £4m funding, will join a shortlist of 15 other businesses, including Datagrid AI and Kamai, from around the world as part of the 12-week Trimble 0-60 challenge 2025.

As part of the programme, the selected finalists will collaborate with the Trimble team to develop their product integrations. NavLive will also be given access to Trimble’s advanced technologies, including AI and machine learning products and the wider Trimble ecosystem.

The programme will culminate with NavLive showcasing at the prestigious Trimble Dimensions conference in Las Vegas in November.

Developed by academics in robotics research at the University of Oxford, NavLive’s handheld device can scan buildings and generate precise site drawings within a matter of minutes.

Chris Davison, CEO of NavLive said: “It’s an honour to be recognised by Trimble as part of the company’s connected design accelerator programme. Our AI-powered scanning solution is designed to usher in a new era of real-time, high-fidelity 2D and 3D scans that will set a new standard in the architecture and construction industry.

We are very excited to work with the Trimble team over the coming months and look forward to showcasing our solution to executives in Las Vegas in November.”
