Our technological approach

A policy of continuous innovation

From the outset, GEOCONCEPT’s business activities have adhered to a firm guiding principle: to promote the integration of mapping technologies in information systems within the enterprise and public sector bodies, in order to facilitate analysis and decision-making, and to develop and optimize their logistics, marketing, sales and services activities.

Offering industry standards-based tools, and capitalizing on the open and interoperable nature of its geographic data optimization modules, GEOCONCEPT brings a new organizational dimension to the workplace.

GEOCONCEPT has a policy of constant innovation inspired by a driving ambition to democratize technologies and to integrate optimization components intelligently, enabling customers to generate new sources of revenue or to respond more quickly, whatever business they are in.

To achieve this objective, and to continue to offer solutions optimally suited to meet its customers’ business challenges, GEOCONCEPT consistently maintains high levels of investment in R&D.

 

Contribution to European Research Programs

As part of its research activity, GEOCONCEPT is involved in developing various competitive clusters and participating in prestigious research programs.

GEOCONCEPT contributes to a European initiative that is right at the forefront of progress, and is also involved in numerous European Research programs, notably those linked to Galileo.

Lasting three years on average, being involved in these programs means that GEOCONCEPT plays a key role in designing the geographic products of the future.

 

European satellite navigation system program GalileoGALILEO Project

GEOCONCEPT is especially involved in programs associated with the European satellite navigation system Galileo. (2005-2020)


Under this project, GEOCONCEPT is part of the Eurely Consortium, responsible for deploying and operating the Galileo system.

GEOCONCEPT also belongs to the experts' consortium convened for the AGILE project (application of Galileo in an LBS environment).

 

Projet de Recherche et Développement LiaisonLIAISON Project

GEOCONCEPT is also involved in the Research and Development Liaison Project.

This project aims to provide police forces, firefighters, local authorities and public services, as well as many other players, with geo-location solutions designed to suit any wireless communication technology such as GSM/GPRS/UMTS, but also Wlan, TETRA, etc.

Thanks to these solutions, users will be able to receive and send geo-localized information from their mobile phones (or any mobile interface) and even from places not usually covered by GPS systems, such as enclosed spaces, buildings, or dense forests.
In collaboration with Alcatel Space, GEOCONCEPT is offering a turnkey solution for this project's geo-localization applications.

 

Descartes ProjectDESCARTES Project

The DESCARTES Project aims to develop and test a tool for crisis management. This is a unique system composed of consistent interoperable, analysis, prediction, decision support, training and management of the crisis tools.
This project lasted 36 months and its prototype was successfully tested in March 2012. Alongside partners such as CEA or Thales, GEOCONCEPT contributed its expertise in Geographical Information Systems and in the geo-optimization of crisis management.

 

Projet PreviewPREVIEW Project

The PREVIEW project (PREVention Information and Early Warning), co-financed by the European Commission, ran from 2004-2008.

The project's objective was to develop new products and services for managing major risks (natural risks such as storms, earthquake and forest fires, for example).

These products and services provide information quickly and accurately to local decision-makers so that they can effectively manage the crisis, whether preventively or curatively. The main users of these services are the various countries' civil protection organizations where these services have been tested and validated.

 

RISK-EOS ProjectRISK-EOS Project

RISK-EOS is a network of European geo-information services suppliers. This project ran from 2003 to 2006. RISK-EOS services aim to support decision-making when confronted with flooding and forest fires in whatever phase of the crisis (prevention, alert, crisis, damage assessment).

RISK-EOS services combine the use of observation satellite data with external data and tried and tested modeling techniques.
They address the needs of all risk management players, at European, national or regional level.
