Our missions
Ensure for decision-makers to get access to tools adapted to their operational needs for a lighted decision process, any sector.
More specifically, our products and services support public policies addressing climate changes adaptation and the sustainable management of our territories, landscapes, and natural resources.
Our main missions are the following:
Creation of geospatial datasets
Updated basemaps, features extraction from imagery (satellite as well as aerial or UAV), in-situ measurements, etc.
Valorization of datasets
Geostatistical analyzes, cross-referencing of data for various thematic uses, communicating maps, etc.
Supporting users
Training, consultancy, feasibility studies, support for expression of needs, technical assistance for project management, etc.
All these missions have followed the natural development of INSIGHT’s activity, ensuring agility to adapt ever better to the operational needs of our several users.
Thanks to such missions for the benefit of the geospatial communities of the 3 French Oceanian territories, but also for the benefit of the whole regional community, INSIGHT is a strong support to the development of all the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) in geospatial matters.
Strong values
In line with our strong commitment to developing our territories in the geospatial field, core values appears as defining both INSIGHT and the missions embraced over the years:
COMMUNITY
Work together to structure, catalyze and consolidate a close-knit regional community with a sense of common purpose, promoting links between complementary regional initiatives to ensure unity at long-term. Above all, to support and accompany the structuring and development of local communities, as the fundamental basis for the sustainability of actions carried out at regional level.
SHARING
Facilitate the sharing of experience and the transfer of knowledge between multiple players and members of the communities of Oceania, considering a key philosophy of knowledge economy. This, by actively contributing to the opening up and sharing of geospatial data and tools adapted to the region, promoting free access for everyone to the most possible.
COLLABORATION
Guarantee both inclusiveness and full collaboration in the whole work to be carried out all together, from the characterization of similar needs to the operational implementation of common solutions. This will be achieved by pooling resources and strengthening links both within each single territory as well as between PICTs.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Guarantee that both environmental and social aspects are taken into account, ensuring the sustainable management of territories and natural resources for future generations. Doing so, support the mutual economic development of territories to ensure the sustainability of the initiatives undertaken, by drawing on an international partnership network in which each player has a vested interest.
A major role
Facilitator and catalyst for local and regional communities
INSIGHT is a member of numerous local, regional and international networks. This gives us the global vision we need in order to understand the links and issues at stake, with the aim of facilitating the enlightened strategic development of New Caledonia and the region in the geospatial field.
Thanks to its network and its vision, INSIGHT addresses its values by carrying out its own missions.

Visionary for the sustainable development of our three Pacific overseas territories
For many years now, INSIGHT has been committed to the development of local geospatial communities, with a particular focus on the territories of New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna.
Today, this ensures that we do have a good understanding of the ecosystems in place, a complete vision of the many technical aspects to be considered, as well as a certain mastery of the methodology aimed at fostering inclusive and sustainable development dynamics in fields as technical as geospatial.
Thanks to the skills acquired over the years, we were able to produce a strategic document aiming at setting up an Oceania Geospatial Organization (OGO), to support the sustainable development of our three overseas territories via geographic data.
Addressing the issues from a geospatial perspective, a particularly cross-disciplinary field, this document provides a comprehensive overview of the local contexts and the many needs to be considered in order to ensure the sustainability of a dynamic that is essential to our territories, as well as the regional and international context that we absolutely must take advantage of to ensure the sustainability of our local dynamics. Finally, the last section proposes an operational implementation plan, with recommendations for governance and business models.
Training Courses
Both academic and professional training, as well as transfer of skills are objectives that we consider essential as a lever for regional development, contributing directly to capacity building and the consolidation of a field of excellence for our islands.
INSIGHT provides a wide range of training courses in the region and is a certified training organization. All our trainers are accredited, and the training courses we offer are eligible for dedicated funding bodies.
Referenced in particular by New Caledonia’s public administration training institute (IFAP), our actions are today mainly aimed at professional training, both inter and intra entities.
