What is Retailtech Hub?
How the
program works.
We want to change the world of commerce. And we want to do it together with the best startups and digital-driven corporations!
That’s why we started more than an accelerator: an international hub at the heart of Europe, where commerce innovation can progress, where future-thinking corporations and eager startups can meet and meaningfully engage.
We create the environment to pilot solutions and services, learn and share experiences, increase sales or facilitate international expansion: we give YOU a place to empower commerce. Together.
The team to
boost you.
