Russ Curry, Ministry of New Media
Every year, the NRF’s Big Show is a Mecca for innovation in the retail world, showcasing innovative solutions and technologies for all organizations involved in the sector. Taking place January 14-16, 2018 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York, last year this international trade fair attracted 600 exhibitors and 35,000 visitors from 95 countries.
Joanna Routaboul in charge of the French Tech Pavilion at #NRF2018, told us “The French companies exhibiting on our pavilion display genuine international development potential and all have a capacity to speed up their commercial development by sparking interest among decision-makers at the NRF show”.
The French Tech Pavilion, booth #1155 will showcase 12 of the most outstanding French Tech companies, with proven track record. They were selected by a jury of seasoned venture capitalists and successful entrepreneurs.
Florence Tison, Head of Business France’s East coast Tech Practice in North America, highlights that “The choices that the retailers make today will determine their success in a challenging environment. There is an urgency to partner with the most innovative tech experts to stay ahead of the game. Today, French tech talents are at the forefront of AI and data science. This year’s French Tech selection for NRF’s Big Show has demonstrated proven success with retailers and is a must-see.”
From artificial intelligence, predictive marketing, conversational business, and big data to warehouse management, customer experience and after-sales solutions, the French Tech Pavilion will offer a large portfolio of solutions to address today’s global retail challenges.
France represents the third largest delegation attending NRF’s Big Show after Canada and Brazil with 871 delegates. Over the past three years, the number of French startups offering solutions specifically for retail has steadily expanded. An increasing number have already set up shops in the US, such as UX analytics company Content Square (20 millions dollars raised), state-of-the-art instore tracking technologies Fidzup and Teemo, deep artificial intelligence marketing solution Tinyclues, omnichannel performance platform Ysance, or real time opportunity prediction and engagement platform iAdvize (raised $38M in 2017) – just to name a few.
