Baringa and Retail Technology Show put focus on startup innovation
Consulting firm, Baringa, is bringing its Retail Startup Safari project to Retail Technology Show.
Taking place at London’s Olympia on 26th-27th April, Retail Technology Show’s mission is to bring together the brightest minds in retail and future thinking technology providers.
The Baringa Startup Safari will allow a selection of entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas to an audience of retail professionals, buyers and investors.
Startups are being invited by Baringa to apply by Wednesday, 16th February.
Examples of new ideas could include new projects that reimagine data and analytics, new AI and machine learning applications, sustainability driven initiatives, and groundbreaking payment solutions.
Entries are free, with the shortlist being announced on 28th February.
Lucy Larkin, Partner in the Consumer Products & Retail team at Baringa, comments: “We’re thrilled to be working with the team at the Retail Technology Show to bring the StartUp Safari back, and curate a selection of the most exciting new businesses in the sector. “
“This is exciting for our clients, who are able to meet firms we know are the very best of the best. It’s exciting for the many brilliant new businesses out there, who get to make connections across the industry. It’s also a timely reminder of the vibrant, high octane nature of the UK startup community.”
Matt Bradley, Event Director for the Retail Technology Show, says: “Technology has always been mission critical for retailers.“
“But with the seismic shifts the industry has experienced during the pandemic, innovation is now the central cornerstone that will drive retail businesses forwards as they build back better and stronger, and evolve to meet the new needs of a changed post-pandemic consumer.“
“With the keenest of eyes for relevant, fresh and forward looking innovation, Baringa has always curated the best examples of disruptive startup technology in its Safaris, and we’re delighted to have them onboard as we reunite the industry’s retailers and innovators at the 2022 show.”
