Zebox Accelerating innovation for sustainable mobility

Transdev Presentation Julien Réau: “Transdev is a mobility operator. In fact, you may not realize it, but when you take a tramway, a train, a coach, a bus, even a bike, Transdev might be behind the service that transports you every day.” [00:11] “And in reality, we transport 12 million people every day.” [00:22] Collaboration with ZEBOX and Startups Julien Réau: “At ZEBOX, we found a very rich ecosystem of startups—with a global footprint, but also industrial partners who share exactly the same issues and challenges as we do.” [00:27] “Very often, we choose to co‑innovate with partners, including startups for example, because it allows us to move much faster.” [00:44] “It enables us to address needs directly connected to our business by finding solutions that are sometimes already proven by other players and other sectors.” [00:50] Working Effectively with Startups Julien Réau: “For us, it’s very important to work with trust and transparency from the start, to always find ways to move quickly, and above all, not to waste a startup’s time.” [01:04] “Overall, our goal is really to operate as partners, where we may adapt a startup’s solution to a specific public transport challenge.” [01:21] Advice for Startups Julien Réau: “Be very clear about your ambitions and your roadmap, and at the same time stay open to the challenges faced by a large group.” [01:43] “Often, when a large group encounters a difficulty and manages to express it well, that same problem can be found with other clients. So it can definitely be an interesting path to explore.” [01:51] Julien Réau: “ZEBOX in one word? The ideal industrial partner. That’s three words!” [02:02]
