Description
The start-up Shippeo has announced the recruitment of 150 employees within three years to support its development. Shippeo has developed a platform for retailers and manufacturers to improve the visibility of their supply chain. The company has just finalised a new €20 million fundraising campaign and is present in 40 countries. With these funds, it hopes to develop its international implementation, invest in R&D (AI and automation) and recruit 150 people. It currently employs 80 people.
Shippeo has already opened offices in Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and Milan, and generates 75% of its turnover abroad. The funds raised will be used to strengthen the sales offices in Spain and the United Kingdom, with the aim of becoming the European leader in its sector.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
