Simplicity and vision are taking centre stage at this year’s One-to-One Retail E-commerce event, launched on Tuesday at the Grimaldi Forum. The three-day gathering will connect industry leaders for personalised meetings, conferences, and valuable networking opportunities in one of the retail sector’s most anticipated annual events.
Now in its 14th year, One-to-One Retail E-commerce has established itself as the premier- meeting point for retail and e-commerce professionals in Europe. A highlight of this year’s edition is the return of the Village Startups for the 6th consecutive year, where start-up companies in the retail and e-commerce sectors will be able to showcase their innovative ideas. Twenty-one startups were carefully selected after a competitive selection process that oversaw 70 applicants competing for a spot.
These companies, by participating in the Village Startups will have the opportunity of winning awards and recognition, strategise networking opportunities and pitch sessions, a unique opportunity for upcoming businesses.
‘’The Village Startups provides a unique platform for emerging companies to present their solutions to decision-makers looking for concrete answers to their strategic needs’’ explains Sonia Mamin, Director of One-to-One events. “This event highlights the dynamism and promise of the retail and e-commerce sectors, offering startups an exceptional opportunity for growth and recognition while fostering partnerships that shape the future of these industries.’’
Organised by Comexposium, a global event company that oversees more than 150 professional events annually across 10 sectors, the forum continues to grow in both scale and significance.
