The CMA CGM Group has launched a call for projects targeted at startups and businesses working on concrete solutions to step up the pace of decarbonisation within all areas of the French shipping industry.
Announced at the Assises de l’Économie de la Mer (French maritime economy conference) by Rodolphe Saadé, chairman and chief executive officer of the CMA CGM Group, it is backed by the CMA CGM Fund for Energies.
This call for projects is open to all startups and businesses wanting to step up the pace of decarbonising the “blue economy” in mainland France and the French overseas territories in a range of areas – from shipping, tourism and cruising, to fishing and seafood products, infrastructure, naval and nautical industries and renewable energies.
Projects will be selected based on their concrete impact on the decarbonisation of the French shipping industry, the maturity of the projects, and the economic feasibility, says Saadé.
