We are deeply convinced that transforming the mobility + logistics sectors requires more collaboration of startups with corporate partners. shipzero (by Appanion)'s partnership with our investor ZF Group is a great example of how to scale an innovative startup solution and drive sustainability in global freight transport. Thanks to everyone who help making this happening (Sven Bohnert, Tobias Bohnhoff, Martijn Maters and many more)!
