The evolution imperative: Retail’s moment to move. How agility, innovation and sustainability go hand in hand
Be inspired by a talk from innovation expert Nick Sohnemann, diving into the global forces reshaping retail and why adaptation is key for survival.
2026 will be another year of deep transformation for retail. The rules of the game are constantly being rewritten, forcing companies to rethink established models, explore new approaches from product design to commercialization and regain control over margins, flows and partnerships.
Significant changes in customs duties and procedures, shifting supply chains, rising costs, growing demands for transparency and Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements are all top of mind for retailers in Europe. Nick Sohnemann explains how to stay one step ahead.
