FPT, a global technology and IT services provider, and ZEBOX, the international innovation accelerator initiated by CMA CGM Group, have entered into a three-year strategic partnership to develop and deploy AI-powered solutions for the transport and logistics sector. The partnership will combine FPT’s capabilities in artificial intelligence, automation and large-scale digital transformation with ZEBOX’s expertise in logistics and its international network of startups, corporations and technology partners. The collaboration will focus on areas including shipping, port operations, logistics, supply chain management and clean energy.
The first joint initiative will be launched in Vietnam. FPT, ZEBOX and CMA CGM Vietnam will organise the Challenge For Impacts Vietnam programme in Ho Chi Minh City on October 15, 2026. The international competition will bring startups and established companies together to develop solutions for operational challenges identified by CMA CGM Vietnam.
The programme will focus particularly on system operations and port terminal optimisation. Participants will work on practical industry requirements, with selected solutions having the potential to be tested and deployed in real-world operating environments. Over the three-year partnership, FPT and ZEBOX will identify opportunities across the CMA CGM ecosystem, develop proofs of concept, engage technology startups and support the deployment of selected solutions internationally.
ZEBOX will contribute its understanding of transport and logistics requirements, together with its international innovation network and links with startups and corporations. FPT will provide expertise in AI, automation and the execution of large-scale technology programmes.
