The Topic of Retail Summit 2025

Innovation flows through the veins of healthy companies. But what is the heart that drives them? People who put their heart in changing things? Or is it about setting the right conditions for innovation? Does it make sense to improve something if it is not certain that it will work out?

The Czech Republic is becoming a new center of innovators – how can you take advantage of it? Whether it's new technologies or news in the field of products or retail services, the key is whether they find their way into the hearts of customers. All this will be the topic of the summit of key players in the retail market.

Top meeting you can't miss

Attend a meeting of key players on the Central European business market. Gain new information, inspiration and energy for the further development of your business. Make new contacts and strengthen existing ones.

We take part in the Retail Summit every year and it is still better and better, I must say. Actually this year was one of the best Retail Summits ever. It is a unique place to meet people from retail, technologies, supply chain, manufacturers … and sharing our opinions is the best about it.

I consider my presentation in the main program at Retail Summit 2019 in front of about 800 people to be a turning point in my life. Until then I was only a "hardworker", since then I have been a "networker" thanks to the Retail Summit and I practically haven't stopped
