DRIVING THE RETAIL REVOLUTION
WITH AI & ROBOTICS

The current trends in the retail industry led by the world’s leading retail companies and the continuous efforts to boost efficiency, optimize supply chain processes and enhance customer experience make retailers around the world rethink the traditional retail industry to turn their physical stores into smart stores using machine learning solutions and artificial intelligence.

With China’s growing investment and adoption of AI technologies across many industries, it’s no secret that retail is one of the most promising fields of business in China for the next decade.

Our next Assessing China Program will bring together China’s leading retail & E-Commerce giants with US-based AI and robotics startups to explore opportunities for collaboration.

If you’re a founder developing deep technology solutions to solve the traditional retail industry’s biggest challenges, this program will open doors to China’s immense market opportunities.

The goal of this Assessing China Program with the focus on new retail is to understand what the opportunities for AI applications are across the whole retail channels, from warehouse management to customer experience.

The week will be packed with meetings with executives from some of China’s largest retail companies. They are well aware of the benefit that innovative technology can bring to their value chains and unique challenges.

Our intention is to facilitate these in-person meetings to open up the dialogue that will start you down the road towards an effective client relationship. We’ve already selected the partners so you can focus on the discussions that matter with Comet Labs supporting you.

A quick overview of the success of our previous Assessing China Programs in industrial IoT and AI chipsets:

“The Assessing China program exceeded my expectations in the relationships I was able to build with many of the manufacturers as potential future customers, as well as the fellow participants.”   (Andrew Scheuermann, co-founder and CEO of Arch Systems)

“This has been the most eye-opening and business progressive trip I’ve ever participated in and I would recommend any startup CEO/CTO/COO/CRO to join if they are thinking of the Chinese market.”   (Nils Alstadt, VP of Customer Experience at Canvas)
