ZEBOX at #VMA24: Exploring AI and Automation in Global Shipping We were thrilled to moderate the panel on "AI and Advanced Automation's Impact on International Shipping and Transportation" at the Virginia Maritime Association's #VMA24 conference in Norfolk, VA.

🧠 Mental Health & Entrepreneurship: A Priority Last week, at ZEBOX’s Caribbean hub, we heard powerful stories from entrepreneurs who shared their experiences with burnout. Opening up about mental health is challenging, but it’s essential. Isolation, pressure, and fear of judgment often make it hard, yet these conversations are crucial. We also highlighted the importance of recognizing distress in ourselves and others, and how mental health first aid training can help. Together, let’s build an ecosystem where mental health is a top priority for entrepreneurs. 💪 Be mindful of your own mental health and that of the people around you 🤍 #MentalHealth #Entrepreneurship #Burnout #Support #Wellbeing #ZEBOX #Caribbean

🚀 GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World : A Week of Innovation, AI, and Green Tech! As we wrap up our incredible journey at #GITEX2024, it's clear that Dubai is positioning itself as a global tech powerhouse 🌍. The event was massive, reflecting the city's ambition to build its own digital sovereignty through bold, dynamic initiatives. AI was at the heart of GITEX, with Dubai aiming for AI to contribute 40% to its GDP by 2030 🤖. From government-backed AI programs like “One Million AI Prompters” to port innovations like Tasreeh and Seamless Inspection, the region is setting the pace for rapid digital transformation and AI-driven growth. On the sustainability front 🌱, #GreenTech played a big role, with Huawei showcasing eco-friendly data centers and our very own Aerleum leading the way in CO2 capture technologies. Our ZEBOX startups stood out throughout the event, gaining new business opportunities and turning heads in every corner 🤝. We can’t wait to see what’s next for them: Aerleum, Green Energy Solution GE'S, LIFILED, PROMÉTHÉE Earth Intelligence, QISTA, SP3H, Wise-integration, HumanFab WorkCare, and Trigger's Reports.
