Paris Retail Week 2023 Final Report

A program at the heart of current events

For its 9th year, Paris Retail Week deciphers consumer trends and explores innovations in the sector: How can we rethink our business by moving from a linear to a circular growth model? How to offer Made in France products while expanding internationally? How can we differentiate ourselves from other brands by offering a strong DNA and promise? How do AI and automation help brands deliver a better customer experience? How can we measure the impact of social networks on sales? WEB3, Metavers: the continuity of technology and experience... are just some of the topics to be addressed at the conferences and workshops scheduled over the 3 days of the show.

Testimonies From Exhibitors and Speakers

“This is the second year we have attended Paris Retail Week. We are thrilled with the connections we made during the event: more than 100 qualified contacts thanks to the show’s new international orientation and the presence of big retail names. We have significantly expanded our business opportunities. And new projects will be launched very soon!” Tassadit QUIVY, Co-Founder, Yoo Soft.

“I had a wonderful time on stage during Paris Retail Week with the President and CEO of the National Retail Federation, Matthew Shay, to discuss how Walmart continues to create a transparent shopping experience through every channel available, adapting to the evolving needs of our clients and members.” Seth DALLAIRE, Executive VP and Chief Revenue Officer, Walmart US.

“For our very first time joining the event, it couldn’t have gone better. Paris Retail Week gave us an opportunity to test our solution with our target audience and validate its market fit. We have gained more than 80 contacts with well established retailers, as well as smaller businesses that weren’t on our radar yet. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive: meetings with plenty of brands, insights from super-inspiring entrepreneurs and new conversations with potential partners. Three exceptionally rewarding days.” Alberto BURON, CEO, Nricher.
