About GEOSAT

GEOSAT provides services in geographical data acquisition and analysis, positioning itself as a key operator in 3D measurement and modeling. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Pessac, France, the company has expanded its operations across France, Europe, and Africa. The group is presided over by Mathias Saura, a surveyor and cartographer who has been central to the company's growth. His background as a surveying engineer and his entrepreneurial drive have been instrumental in scaling the company from about fifteen employees to over 600. Saura is also actively involved in the business community, holding the presidency of the Medef Gironde.

The company's core business involves the measurement, modeling, and digitization of spaces, networks, and buildings for both public and private clients. Its service portfolio is extensive, covering topography, land surveying, 3D scanning, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), network detection, and mobile mapping. GEOSAT employs advanced 3D measurement techniques like LiDAR and photogrammetry, integrating them with proprietary artificial intelligence tools to deliver precise analyses of three-dimensional spaces. This enables the firm to support a wide array of projects, from land management and infrastructure development to creating digital twins and ensuring public safety.

Clients include local authorities, public works companies, network operators, architects, and real estate professionals. The business model centers on providing tailor-made support and high-performance services, leveraging state-of-the-art equipment and the complementary expertise of its various subsidiaries. A significant part of its strategy involves a dedicated research and development team of about twenty researchers focused on automating cartographic processes and developing high-definition maps essential for smart cities and autonomous vehicles. The company has demonstrated consistent growth, partly through strategic acquisitions, and has been recognized as a member of the French Tech 120, a program for high-growth startups.
