Predict Services wishes you all the best for 2025. Once again this year, let’s anticipate and build our future together in the face of climate challenges, by combining innovation and adaptation.
On Wednesday 11 December, a team from the Kenya Space Agency, together with representatives from universities, start-ups and local companies, visited Montpellier as part of a study visit to Europe organised by Aerospace Valley.
The visit is part of a European project led by Expertise France called ‘Data Governance in Africa’, which aims to develop data policies centred on people and development at different scales in several African countries.
Predict Services welcomed this delegation with the aim of sharing and discussing the innovative methods, tools and solutions that have been deployed by local authorities, businesses and citizens for over 20 years in the management of hydrometeorological risks.
These discussions provided food for thought on potential collaborations.

Thunderstorms, intense rainfall, flooding… the events that have impacted our regions in recent months have once again highlighted the need to adapt to climatic risks.
At local level, there are a number of preventive measures in place to help identify and take appropriate action. For over 10 years, Groupama-Predict has been providing day-to-day support to local authorities in drawing up their Plans Communaux de Sauvegarde (PCS) and their DICRIM, and in providing real-time information in the event of risk.
At the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales in Paris from November 19 to 21, Groupama-Predict engineers will be on hand to present the climate risk adaptation solutions included in your local authority insurance policy.

The partners of the GOBEYOND project (GeO and weather multi-hazard impact Based Early warning and response systems supporting rapid deploYment of first respONders in EU and beyonD), led by the University of Catalonia and supported by the European Union, met in Sétubal, Portugal, to share the project’s progress and prepare the next steps.
Gobeyond responds to the need to implement a global early warning system, as called for by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The aim of the project is to design and provide a platform for anticipating and managing the impacts of hydro-meteorological and geological hazards (earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis), in order to continuously improve operational response in Europe and the Mediterranean basin.
Predict presented a first version of the prototype, integrating functionalities meeting the needs of the four pillars of risk management (Risk Knowledge – Preparedness – Monitoring – Warning and Dissemination), as well as European data made available by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
Since the end of September 2024, Predict has been supporting the Côte d’Ivoire authorities as part of the VIGICLIMM project (Projet de modernisation du système de vigilance, d’alerte, et de services climatiques et météorologiques aux usagers) and the PARU (Projet d’Assainissement et de Résilience Urbaine) urban sanitation and resilience project.
As part of the VIGICLIMM project, financed by the AFD – Agence Française de Développement, Predict is working alongside Météo France International (MFI) to strengthen the capacity of the Société d’exploitation et de développement aéroportuaire, aéronautique et météorologique (SODEXAM Côte d’Ivoire), helping it to modernize its vigilance, warning and climate and weather services to users.
Predict is also working with the Côte d’Ivoire authorities, with its partner BRL Ingénierie as part of the PARU project financed by the World Bank, to improve the Early Warning and Forecasting System (SPAP) aimed at protecting populations against the risk of flooding.
Over a two-week period, Predict worked with the Ivorian authorities to carry out an audit prior to the modernization of the country’s early warning and alert system, and to draw up the first Community Safety Plans (Plans Communaux de Sauvegarde – PCS) in Côte d’Ivoire, in order to design the preventive action plans needed for effective, operational management of the flood risks affecting the autonomous district of Abidjan.
