We are launching our inaugural innovation challenge, which will see tertiary students and recent alumni form teams to ideate and develop solutions that tackle challenges facing the retail industry. While the retail sector has been facing multiple headwinds in the past few years, there have also been strong efforts to convert these problems into opportunities from developing omnichannel user experiences to new business models to stronger emphasis on sustainability.

Our challenge is titled “Retail Reimagined” because we want to work with the next generation of shoppers and retail talent to get their creative ideas in developing game-changing solutions.
