TANGRAM
TANGRAM, the lifelong university
TANGRAM, the new training and innovation center of the CMA CGM Group in Marseille. A dedicated space for the sustainable transport and logistics of tomorrow, a project that Saguez & Partners approached with great curiosity and enthusiasm, convinced by the concept of a Continuing Education University.
Because today, the most important thing is not necessarily having the right clients but having the right employees, the best ones. And to retain them, you need to develop them, which means training them. In an open, flexible world that is constantly evolving socially, politically, environmentally, and behaviorally, and inevitably digital, understanding the world and training for new challenges is the key to any company’s success.
