The Future of Retail: Highlights From The 2026 NRF Europe Innovators Showcase 

"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?
