Founded in 2018 by Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, ZEBOX is an international innovation accelerator backed by 14 major corporations from the maritime, logistics, and media industries. This marks ZEBOX’s first participation in CES, the premier global technology event that gathers innovators, investors, and industry leaders in Las Vegas.
For this inaugural year, ZEBOX has selected 10 of the most outstanding startups from its acceleration program to present at Eureka Park. Among them are Aerleum and Okular, winners of the CMA CGM Startup Awards, as well as two startups, Biomitech and Be Energy, supported by the Région Sud under the French Tech banner. Notably, Biomitech has also received a CES Innovation Award for its clean energy solutions.
The ZEBOX delegation will also participate in CES Unveiled on January 5, the official pre-opening event. This exclusive gathering of media, investors, and thought leaders offers a preview of the key innovations featured at CES 2025, providing ZEBOX startups with a unique opportunity to connect with influential stakeholders and gain visibility ahead of the main event. ZEBOX’s corporate partners will also accompany the delegation, fostering collaboration and co-innovation. Their presence represents an opportunity for startups to form lasting partnerships and strengthen their networks within a global ecosystem.
