FAIR Consortium,

Media brief, 06 July 2021

Gisaïa, Skyline Partners, e-Odyn are excited to announce that their consortium won a grant by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme coordinated by Aerospace Valley. The award was through a tendering process that saw the consortium emerge with top scores for their proposal responding to “Emerging indUstries new value chains boosted by small Flying Objects – UFO”

The UFO project seeks to develop cross-sectoral industrial value-chains between selected emerging industries, to stimulate new products and services from small and medium enterprises.

Mr Thaddé Bouchard, the UFO Coordinator at Aerospace Valley shares what got FAIR on the winning list.

“Based on a high quality application, the project FAIR presents for UFO a great opportunity to combine new market opportunities with climate change tackling. The parametric products proposed by FAIR, leveraging on advanced scientific and insurance models, represent a highly innovative approach for ship insurance. FAIR proposes a promising solution in contrast with traditional practices of the insurance industry in the marine sector demonstrating how satellite data can foster the value chains of emerging industries.”

The award will allow the consortium to bring together their aggregated technologies to develop and test a parametric index insurance product for the marine sector. Mr Bouchard notes that FAIR put together the right actors to successfully execute the project.

The grant runs between May 2021 – May 2022. After the one year development period, the consortium aims to put a fully transparent risk transfer product that protects ship owners while also benefiting the environment . This will be achieved through full automatiomation of risk calculations based on Earth observation data to cover overlooked aspects of operations.

The consortium, which is made up of marine data specialists, geo-big data analytics experts and parametrics insurance specialists, believes that this project will open up a new revenue stream for Small Flying Objects (SFOs), in high value marine insurance .

MEDIA RELEASE

Gisaïa launches arlas.city with Tisséo Collectivités as first adopter.

December, 14, 2020

Arlas.city is a geo-analytical solution for Public Transport Authorities. This innovative SaaS service gives public transport decision-makers the ability to respond to the needs of residents for efficient public transport. Arlas.city enters the market with Tisséo Collectivités.

"Arlas.city offers us a powerful visualization of our transport offer via a reactive and ergonomic interface. The proposed geospatial analysis tools will quickly allow our study managers to enlighten our managers on the state of our network and help them make decisions to develop it. We believe that arlas.city is, at the crossroads of GIS and the public transport business, the solution of excellence that we are looking for."

Tisséo

Collectivités

Tisséo Collectivités’ transport network is vast, complex and includes different modes of transport; metro, tramway, bus and cable car. Tisséo benefits from the harmonious alignment of all their data sources, which are distributed in several silos. Indeed, arlas.city offers a unified, global and instantaneous view of the different Tisséo data silos covering, among other things, the network elements (113 lines and 3674 stops), ticketing, and the advances/delays observed.

This allows Tisséo to measure theoretical, operational and societal performances. Tisséo’s teams can carry out customer analyses and obtain economic indicators to make precise and timely strategic decisions, for example to determine where to place stops, establish a new link between modes or even increase or decrease the frequency of services.

Arlas.city offers a unique analytical perspective on the operational performance of the transport network and its attractiveness to the public through the integration of population and ticketing data. In addition, arlas.city is interoperable with other solutions, eliminating redundancy and providing an efficient and seamless tool chain. This cloud solution offers great flexibility, especially for the growing need for remote working. Its ease of use makes it accessible across all public transport authorities’ command-chain for synchronised, evidence-based choices.

But arlas.city doesn’t stop there, as ongoing developments will allow the integration of demographic data.

Toulouse public transport network data viewed on arlas.city

"It will be possible to directly measure the match between supply and demand and to assess the proportion of the population benefiting from the supply. Not forgetting the power of the isochron calculator directly usable in arlas.city, which allows for instantaneous calculation of accessible areas, according to a network configuration and several origins. It should be noted that the bicycle stations are also used in the isochron calculations."

Sylvain Gaudan,

Technical Director of Gisaia.

Isochrones – curves connecting points accessible to travelers in a given time – are excellent indicators of network performance. Moreover, isochrones, once projected onto population data, allow the social performance of the population to be estimated.

arlas.city is constantly evolving to bring more tangible facts to decision-makers. Decisions are justified and supported by reliable data and analysis. They lead to a balanced and efficient public transport network that ensures mobility, accessibility and passenger satisfaction.

Index Insurance - Geospatial Intelligence.

INSDEX POWERED BY ARLAS.

21 September 2020, Media Release

London – Toulouse: 21 September 2020 – Skyline Partners and Gisaïa announce their strategic partnership and the launch of, Skyline’s index insurance technology, starting with Solar.

Solar is a unique index insurance solution by Skyline for renewable solar energy, powered by Gisaïa’s geospatial solution ARLAS that will bring a unique risk transfer and management platform for clients to explore, monitor and insure the lack of solar radiation.

The same data used to pay claims will be used to monitor their risks in full transparency for customers and risk carriers.

Combined with faster and guaranteed payouts, Solar will support project developers and green investors in securing better funding terms and help them manage their risk appetite.

“Gisaïa’s expertise in geospatial big data exploration has been proven in the high-tech space industry. Their ability to deliver high quality geospatial visualisation is unprecedented in the insurance industry. We are very excited to partner with them and bring this unique value proposition. Our shared focus on innovation, technology and data cement this partnership for the long term.” Laurent Sabatié and Gethin Jones, Skyline Partners Co-Founders and Directors.

“Skyline Partners have unique expertise and experience in parametric insurance underwriting. Skyline’s ability to keep up with innovative trends and even become early adopters aligns with our quest to explore new spaces to deploy our ARLAS® framework. We are thrilled to find a partner who shares in our push for excellence and positive customer experiences” Laurent Dezou and Sylvain Gaudan, Gisaïa Co-founders and Directors.

Index-based insurance, whilst already a well-known mechanism, has been slow to emerge as an established risk transfer option by risk carriers and customers. This is starting to change and index insurance is now accelerating to complement traditional programmes, in markets where cover gaps or exclusions exist, or conditions are tightening.

With Skyline aims at facilitating and spreading the use of index insurance, as an efficient and transparent means of risk transfer with fast and guaranteed access to cash at the occurrence of adverse events.

New upgrades will soon be released, to accompany existing Skyline index solutions for renewable wind energy, agriculture and natural catastrophes. In addition, Skyline has also developed a beta version of index insurance technology for distributors and risk carriers that integrates the same visualisation capabilities, but also index risk modelling, large scale pricing and payout trigger notifications.

By combining Skyline’s index modelling capabilities with Gisaïa’s big data geospatial expertise, the partnership will create a powerful and unprecedented proposition for the insurance industry. It will bring significant value to customers, brokers and carriers to help them comprehend, manage and transfer risks, in line with their specific needs.
