"The Future of Retail: Highlights From The 2026 NRF Europe Innovators Showcase" is a webinar hosted by Forrester Research that discusses 25 innovators transforming retail technology.
This webinar explores how companies are leveraging new technologies — like automated robotics, LLMs, personalized AI agents, physical AI, and more — to address major retailer pain points across in-store shopping, e-commerce, logistics, and business analytics.
Tune in to hear NRF Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC) members Sucharita Kodali (Forrester Research), Liam Buswell (True Global), and Kathy Gromotka (H&M Group Ventures) discuss the highlights from the showcase.
The technology companies included in the 2026 NRF Europe Innovators Showcase were selected by the NRF Innovation Advisory Committee – a group of industry leaders, venture capitalists and technology accelerators. The IAC selects companies based on four key criteria:
- Problem relevance: Does the technology solve a critical issue for retailers?
- Significance: How widespread and impactful is the challenge being addressed?
- Product-market fit: Has the solution proven its value through partnerships and pilots?
- Scalability: Is the company ready to deliver at scale across the industry?
