24/05/2022

ZEBOX, the international incubator and accelerator for innovative startups founded in 2018 in Marseille at the initiative of Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, and supported by partners who are leaders in their field, announces the arrival of Massimo Magnifico as ZEBOX’s global CEO.

Massimo Magnifico joined ZEBOX in October, having previously been head of EuraTechnologies, Europe’s largest incubator based in Lille.

Since it was created, ZEBOX has supported more than 50 startups, launched its incubation program in Guadeloupe in June 2020 and announced the opening of a hub in the United States in Arlington, a suburb of Washington D.C., in early 2022. Supported by international partners such as BNP PARIBAS, CEVA Logistics, CENTRIMEX, EY, GTT and INFOSYS, ZEBOX celebrated its third anniversary this year.

ZEBOX is positioned as the link between major international groups and startups with the aim of enabling joint development and innovation to accelerate their growth. ZEBOX has confirmed its ambition to become the international name of choice in developing sustainable innovations in its areas of expertise: transportation, logistics, mobility and industry 4.0.

“During the first part of my career, I had the opportunity to work on logistics issues facing major groups. Then, I spent more than 10 years focusing on innovation by joining EuraTechnologies, France’s No. 1 ecosystem for startups. Today, helping to modernize the supply chain and build an international network represents an exceptional challenge in which I wish to take part by joining ZEBOX,” explains Massimo Magnifico, ZEBOX’s new global CEO.
