Why the name Clipperton?

Legend will say that during a somewhat fortuitous brainstorming session in the summer of 2003, a dart found its mark on a world map, landing squarely on a rather intriguing location: Clipperton.

This French coral atoll rests tranquilly in the eastern expanse of the Pacific Ocean, not far from the shores of Central America. It takes its name from John Clipperton, a British pirate who purportedly employed this atoll as a hub for his swashbuckling exploits. France, recognizing its strategic significance, officially claimed ownership in the mid-19th century and bestowed upon it the moniker of Clipperton.

The symbolism of the Clipperton name encapsulates our identity and character with precision: a spirit of adventure, unwavering passion, a commitment to innovation, a rigorous and analytical approach, deep-seated French heritage juxtaposed with a global reach. We proudly identify as Clipperton, and these are the values that underscore our ethos.
