ZEBOX, a French accelerator connecting entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and ecosystem experts globally, has announced the launch of its Asia Pacific hub in Singapore.
The accelerator aims to help tackle pressing business and sustainability issues in multiple sectors, such as supply chains, logistics, transportation, and energy.
With the support of Enterprise Singapore and the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), ZEBOX Asia Pacific will identify startups in Asia, notably in Singapore, and match them to corporate partners. Together, they can embark on co-innovation projects locally and across markets in the Asia Pacific.
The company already has innovation hubs in Europe, North America, the Caribbean, and West Africa.

“With Asia Pacific being one of the most, if not, the most, active regions in the world, it simply made sense for ZEBOX to launch in Singapore,” said Gwen Salley, ZEBOX Chief Executive Officer. “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 government, local talents, and vibrant tech support system.”
ZEBOX’s community of partners add up to 20 with three new industry leaders: Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore, one of the world’s leading ship classification societies; PSA unboXed, PSA International’s innovation and corporate VC arm; and Synergy Marine Group, a leading ship manager have become corporate partners of ZEBOX Asia Pacific.
They join ZEBOX’s founding partner CMA CGM and its circle of 16 other major partner groups to co-develop with startups game-changing solutions across four key areas: operational efficiency, assets optimisation and decarbonisation, workflow automation, and future of work.
