FPT, a technology and IT services provider, and ZEBOX, an innovation accelerator initiated by the CMA CGM Group, have entered into a three-year strategic partnership to develop and deploy AI-powered solutions for the transport and logistics industry.
The partnership will combine FPT’s expertise in artificial intelligence, automation and large-scale digital transformation with ZEBOX’s innovation network and its close connection to the CMA CGM Group’s global transport and logistics ecosystem. The partners will focus on shipping, port operations, logistics, supply chain management and clean energy.
As a first step, FPT, ZEBOX and CMA CGM Vietnam will launch the Challenge For Impacts Vietnam program in Ho Chi Minh City on October 15, 2026.
The international competition will bring startups and leading corporations together to transform innovative ideas into concrete projects. Participants will work on operational challenges identified by CMA CGM Vietnam, particularly in system operations and port terminal optimization, with the aim of developing solutions that could subsequently be deployed in real-world conditions.
Over the next three years, FPT and ZEBOX will identify collaboration opportunities within the CMA CGM ecosystem, develop proofs of concept, engage with promising technology startups and support the international deployment of selected solutions.
ZEBOX will contribute its knowledge of transport and logistics challenges, its international innovation network and its connections with startups and corporations. FPT will provide its expertise in AI, automation and the implementation of large-scale technology programs.
Together, the partners aim to accelerate the transition from identifying an operational need to testing and deploying scalable solutions that can improve efficiency, strengthen supply chain resilience and support decarbonization.
