Paris Retail Awards: winners announced
Paris Retail Week hosted the Paris Retail Awards last week, recognising the top innovations and projects in connected retailing.
Céline Del Genes, Football Concept to Consumer Global Vice-President at Adidas and President of the jury, comments: "The market is experiencing a dynamic period thanks to digital transformation and a wide range of new technological solutions. The jury appreciated the diversity of the competing projects, and the debates were fascinating. This energy was definitely reflected in the prize list at the Paris Retail Awards 2018."
Arnaud Gallet, Director of Paris Retail Week, says: "Retailers are aware of the new issues in their sector and the importance of taking onboard solutions that are adapted to the market. This is why they are attentive to the innovations on offer all through the season, especially since they have the backing of the profession. The Paris Retail Awards are a part of this recognition approach, with the aim of providing a real guarantee of credibility,"
