Start-ups and emerging innovators

The retail start-up scene is developing solutions that rethink shopping experiences, optimize processes on the shop floor and online and open up new worlds of experience for customers.

The Black Stage lecture program at EuroShop will provide visitors with in-depth insights into the latest developments, technologies and success factors of young retail companies. These three trends are currently determining the dynamics of the start-up scene:

• Artificial intelligence & data analysis: start-ups are increasingly relying on AI to better understand customer behavior, optimize product ranges and control processes such as pricing, product availability or shelf management based on data.
• Phygital shopping & omnichannel: The fusion of bricks-and-mortar retail and digital touchpoints continues to gain in importance. Solutions such as personalized in-store experiences, mobile services or virtual product displays seamlessly connect online and offline worlds.
• Efficient supply chains & new B2B models: Scale-ups are driving innovation in logistics, procurement and B2B platforms. The aim is to create more resilient supply chains, faster availability of goods and better connections between manufacturers, retailers and markets.
