Will you tackle the retail challenge?

icon
General2 June, 2017

Are you part of a start-up focused on retail technology and do you want to work for a well-known retailer? Present your solution at Home of Retail’s major retail business challenge and maybe that will come true.

Five challenges

On 7 June, a jury of major and experienced retailers wants you to tell them how you would tackle their retail business challenges. VR and robotics applications are both on the wish list for instance. These are the five challenges:

  1. How can we bring our digital product range to the show floor, limiting our physical store space?
  2. In a world of “live and inspire”, we want to give our customers a VR experience to virtually pimp their own environment. How can we offer this service, both online and in-store?
  3. How can a robot help us in-store without becoming a threat to the employees?
  4. How can we use high quality rendering for technically complex items (like a bicycle) in virtual reality?
  5. What are innovative ways to shorten the cash register procedure, aside from self scanning?

 

The major retail business challenge will happen on Wednesday 7 June, from 15h until 17h, at the Home of Retail: Ankerrui 9, 2000 Antwerpen.

 

Get in touch as fast as you can because there are only a limited number of seats.
