This special exhibition area may not have a big show stage, but the retail tech newcomers present solutions with real substance. Here, you’ll find AI-powered fresh inventory planning, intelligent video analytics, digital POS compliance, data-driven purchasing management, loyalty platforms, marketplace models for the store, and many other practical offerings. What excites me most is the tangible way real challenges in retail are being addressed – from labor shortages to margin pressure.
If you’re attending EuroShop in 2026, be sure to plan a stop at the Young Innovators in Hall 7.0, Booth B04-12. It’s well worth taking a look at the ideas shaping tomorrow.
