Wolt and MediaMarkt extend tie up with fast last mile deliveries now available in Austria and Hungary

Technology company and delivery company Wolt has announced the expansion of its partnership with electronics retailer MediaMarkt.

The pair are now partnering in two key markets - Hungary and Austria - to deliver small electronic devices and accessories directly to customers’ doorsteps in as little as 35 to 90 minutes.

Following a pilot in Budapest, Wolt customers across Hungary can now order from 40 MediaMarkt stores via the Wolt app. The selection includes thousands of products, from Bluetooth speakers and gaming controllers to chargers and fans.

In Austria, MediaMarkt has integrated Wolt Drive as a delivery option on its own webshop, starting with Vienna. Customers browsing the MediaMarkt website can now select rapid delivery via Wolt for eligible items - from coffee machines to headphones - and have them delivered within 90 minutes.

“Our partnership with MediaMarkt is a great example of how Wolt is becoming a go to destination for everyday shopping – well beyond food,” says Cengiz Rahmioglu, Global Head of Retail at Wolt. “We’re extremely happy to be working with such a well loved brand, and together we’re making access to tech faster, easier, and more convenient – whenever and wherever people need it.”

"We are delighted to be able to build a collaboration with such a popular and innovative partner as Wolt, where the common denominator is the customer experience and we can mutually strengthen each other in this,” says Gábor Szilágyi, General Manager at MediaMarkt Hungary.

“Wolt's mission is to make cities better places to live by building communities and bringing convenience to a fast-paced world. Our mission is to provide a technological experience for a more fulfilling life. It's easy to see how these two missions build on and support each other. That's why this opportunity has become so popular, which we're excited about and we're building on that to connect all 40 of our stores and serve our customers nationwide."

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Rapid delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
