CMA CGM has teamed with compatriot tech firm Mistral AI, spending EUR100m ($110m) over the next five years to deploy bespoke AI solutions for the group’s shipping, logistics, and media activities. As part of the agreement, a dedicated team of Mistral AI’s specialists will be based at CMA CGM’s headquarters in Marseille, as well as at Grand Central—the headquarters of CMA Media.
For the shipping and logistics businesses, the focus will be on streamlining and personalising the customer experience through solutions such as automated claims processing, intelligent e-commerce tools, and advanced document management systems. CMA CGM and Mistral AI said they are committed to accelerating the adoption of generative AI (GenAI) across the group.
CMA CGM has committed EUR500m to AI, forging strategic partnerships—notably with Google and Perplexity—and investing in companies such as PoolSide and Dataiku. The 2023 launch of Kyutai, a nonprofit research lab co-founded by Saadé, further reflects the group’s commitment to advancing AI.
