ZEBOX, founded by shipping conglomerate CMA CGM to introduce more tech innovation into the supply chain industry, has launched its 5th innovation hub in the world with its new Asia Pacific hub based in Singapore.
The Asia Pacific hub is backed by Enterprise Singapore, a board under the Ministry of Trade and Industry to foster SME development, and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, alongside industry partners Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore, PSA unboXed and Synergy Marine Group.
In a statement, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore chief executive Teo Eng Dih said: "Startups play a critical role in the transformation of the maritime sector by generating value through their innovative solutions. Through working with partners, MPA hopes to anchor more marinetech startups in Singapore to develop, test and commercialize new products and services from Singapore to benefit the global maritime community."
ZEBOX was founded in 2018 by Rodolphe Saade, chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group as a community of the most promising startups and large companies that are dedicated to accelerating carbonization and optimizing supply chain operations.
ZEBOX already has hubs in France, the United States, the United Kingdom, West Africa and the Caribbean, which have collectively worked with 100 startups that have raised a total of US$235 million in venture funding for the next generation of solutions.
Laurent Olmeta, CEO of CMA CGM Asia Pacific said: "We are thrilled that ZEBOX has expanded to Asia Pacific; and taken off the ground with three new esteemed partners in Singapore. We are grateful for the resounding support from MPA and Enterprise Singapore. From today, ZEBOX Asia Pacific will start initiating corporate-startup collaborations to future-proof tomorrow's supply chain with resilience, agility and sustainability."
"With Asia Pacific being one of the most, if not, the most, active region in the world, it simply made sense for ZEBOX to launch in Singapore." said Gwen Salley, ZEBOX CEO. "With this regional presence, we'll have the ability to unite ambitious corporate partners, and connect them with our global ecosystem, thanks to Singapore's pro-business policies, local talents, and vibrant tech support system."
