Lafayette Fellows at TANGRAM

Today, the CMA CGM Group is proud to become a Founding Patron of Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education’s Lafayette Fellowship and to welcome the program’s inaugural cohort to Marseille.

Selected from more than 3,400 applicants from leading U.S. universities, the Fellows will pursue master’s degrees at some of France’s foremost higher education institutions, while helping strengthen the long-term ties between France and the United States.

As part of their immersion within the Group, the Fellows spent the day at TANGRAM, where they explored how innovation is shaping the future of global trade, transport and logistics.

Through conversations with our executives, insights into the Group’s innovation strategy, a presentation of the Fleet Center and the discovery of TANGRAM’s learning and innovation ecosystem, they saw how emerging ideas, technologies and operational expertise come together to address real-world challenges.

We are proud to support a journey where learning, innovation and dialogue come together to build lasting connections between people, ideas and cultures, while deepening the ties between France and the United States.
