Full Credential Description
ZEBOX, a global startup accelerator focused on sustainability in the supply chain, faced the challenge of establishing a presence in the UK to support and develop sustainable innovations. The company aimed to create a hub that would facilitate technological breakthroughs, particularly in artificial intelligence, to drive decarbonisation and operational optimisation within the supply chain industry.
To address this challenge, ZEBOX launched its UK hub in Manchester in October 2023, marking it as the sixth innovation hub for the accelerator. The hub was inaugurated by the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, and is strategically positioned to connect promising startups in the UK and Northern Europe with corporate partners within ZEBOXs global network. This initiative is designed to enable startups to test innovative solutions that tackle business and sustainability challenges in logistics and supply chain management.
The collaboration with MIDAS was instrumental in the establishment of the ZEBOX UK hub. MIDAS provided essential support by facilitating access to office space in Manchester and offering ongoing assistance in connecting ZEBOX with other businesses and the local and national ecosystem. This partnership has positioned ZEBOX to effectively contribute to the UKs sustainability drive and foster innovation in the region.
