Invest in Cote d'Azur
- The EDHEC Climate Institute, the research center of EDHEC Business School whose campus is located in Nice, and Climate Innov, a Franco-Tunisian research company based in Nice, launched two complementary wildfire initiatives on June 29, 2026.
- Freely accessible to everyone, ensemblepourlaforet.fr provides a wildfire ignition risk forecast, featuring an interactive map with a precise 3 km resolution that anticipates risk hour by hour up to 36 hours in advance.
- Reserved for public-sector stakeholders, SecuFire Action is a decision-support tool made available free of charge and on a long-term basis to fire and rescue services (SDIS), local authorities, and forest managers, capable of predicting the real-time evolution of a wildfire.
- Based on artificial intelligence, satellite data, and scientific modelling, these two solutions are designed to improve risk anticipation and strengthen the protection of territories.
