Micromarket24 announces launch of MarktGo AI powered autonomous store at Bremen Airport in Germany

A Micromarket24 MarktGo self-service store has opened at Bremen Airport.

This is one of the first fully automated stores at a German airport and, with supermarket like prices and opening hours from 4:00 am to 23:30 pm, it is pitched at both travellers and the local population.

It offers a selection of snacks, hygiene products, coffee and drinks.

Access to the store is via card scanning at the entrance. A small team of employees manages stocking and adapting the product range to local demand. Payment for purchases is made via contactless and cashless methods at self-service checkouts. AI camera technology analyses activity in real-time and reacts to unusual incidents such as theft or vandalism.

RTIH AI in Retail Awards

RTIH, organiser of the industry leading RTIH Innovation Awards, proudly brings you the first edition of the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, which is now open for entries. 

As we witness a digital transformation revolution across all channels, AI tools are reshaping the omnichannel game, from personalising customer experiences to optimising inventory, uncovering insights into consumer behaviour, and enhancing the human element of retailers' businesses.

With 2025 set to be the year when AI and especially gen AI shake off the ‘heavily hyped’ tag and become embedded in retail business processes, our newly launched awards celebrate global technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world and the resulting benefits for retailers, shoppers and employees.

Our 2025 winners will be those companies who not only recognise the potential of AI, but also make it usable in everyday work - resulting in more efficiency and innovation in all areas.

Winners will be announced at an evening event at The Barbican in Central London on Wednesday, 3rd September.

This will kick off with a drinks reception in the stunning Conservatory, followed by a three course meal, and awards ceremony in the Garden Room.
