CEVA Logistics renews contract with Safran for aerospace parts transport between France, Tunisia and Morocco
During the 55th edition of the International Paris Air Show, CEVA Logistics, a global leader in third-party logistics, signed a renewed contract last week with Safran, the world's second-largest aerospace equipment manufacturer.
The agreement extends transportation services for three more years between Morocco and France, as well as Tunisia and France.
CEVA Logistics has been providing transport and logistics services to Safran for many years and will continue to do so under this renewed three-year contract. Under the terms of the agreement, CEVA will collect aerospace components from Safran's sites in Morocco and Tunisia and manage their daily transport to France. Incoming shipments from France will also supply Safran's sites in both North African countries.
To manage the full logistics flow from Morocco and Tunisia to Safran's industrial sites and partners in France, CEVA uses a multimodal transport solution combining road freight and RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) maritime transport. Once in France, the shipments pass through CEVA's cross-dock facilities in Toulouse and Vitrolles, before being delivered to their final destinations across the country.
The same logistics approach is used for outbound shipments departing from France.
Each year, CEVA handles over 1,500 shipments, delivering more than 100,000 parcels of aerospace parts and subassemblies.
The entire process operates under a strict delivery schedule, with transshipment platforms receiving goods just a few days after pickup.
The CEVA-Safran partnership is built on a long-standing global collaboration spanning several decades.
Over the years, it has evolved to include both inbound logistics services—such as sourcing and transporting parts from suppliers—and outbound logistics services, including delivering subassemblies to Safran's clients.
Cyrille Roux, Global Head of Aerospace & Defense at CEVA Logistics, stated:
'We have enjoyed a close partnership with Safran for over 20 years and are honored by the trust they continue to place in us.
With a focus on operational excellence and customer satisfaction, we are committed to delivering tailor-made solutions to meet the challenges faced by this global aerospace leader.'

Tunisia 82nd in Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2025
The global organization StartupBlink has released its updated 2025 Global Startup Ecosystem Index, providing an in-depth analysis of startup ecosystems worldwide. The report evaluates over 1,400 cities and 100 countries, offering detailed national and city rankings alongside regional and sector-specific insights. Leveraging data from partners like Crunchbase, SEMRush, and BrightData, it serves as a critical resource for startups, policymakers, and investors making location-based decisions. The Tunisian ecosystem is ranked 82nd. With a score of 0.787, Tunisia is in the top 10 in Africa (7th), having gained eight places compared with the previous edition and representing annual growth of 15.3%. Within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Tunisia is ranked 14th; however, the report emphasizes that this progress is insufficient given the growing competition from other North African countries. In fact, Tunisia's growth remains the lowest in the region at under 15%, which restricts its ambitions in such a competitive regional context. Tunis, the capital, moved up 18 places to 327th in the world. This brings it closer to the top 300, with a local ecosystem growing steadily at over 22% per year. Sousse is ranked 1,233rd in the world. Overall, Tunisian startups raised around $15.2 million in 2024. Meanwhile, Egypt has confirmed its dominance in North Africa, with an ecosystem almost three times as powerful as Tunisia's. It ranks 65th worldwide and 7th in the MENA region, with Cairo leading the way and achieving a score far higher than Alexandria's. In 2024, Egypt is set to achieve its best regional ranking since 2021, with its start-ups having raised 281.6 million dollars. Second in North Africa behind Tunisia, Morocco ranked 88th in the world with a score of 0.687. In 2024, it attracted $176.9 million in funding. It should be noted that none of the other countries in the North African region feature in the ranking. North Africa recorded the lowest annual growth rate of the continent's major regions, at 15.7%. South Africa retains its leading position on the continent (52nd in the world), ahead of Kenya (58th), Egypt and Nigeria (65th), with Cape Verde (75th) closing the top five. The most powerful start-up ecosystems worldwide are found in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada and Sweden. In terms of cities, San Francisco remains the world leader, closely followed by New York, London, Los Angeles and Beijing. These cities stand out for their entrepreneurial dynamism and appropriate infrastructure. In the Arab world, the United Arab Emirates dominates the rankings, occupying 21st place worldwide thanks to its favorable environment for startups, economic openness, and incentive policies.
