CMA CGM’s Ze Box and PSA unboxed have agreed to collaborate to drive digitalization and innovation in the shipping and supply chain ecosystem through start-ups.

Ze Box is CMA CGM’s corporate venture capital arm that invests in start-ups with innovations that bring value to the group, while PSA unboxed is PSA international’s external innovation and corporate venture capital arm.

Under the MoU, both companies will collaborate on resources to support the growth of each other’s ecosystem, on innovation programs to address industry problems, and on shared mentorship programs to encourage the growth of start-ups in the sector.

Ze Box is also set to create a satellite office within PSA unboxed premises in Singapore to further facilitate the collaboration.
