Hugues Hansen, CEO, Start’inpost

Julien Berthomier, CEO & Co-Founder, DIAKSE

Many thanks for your hard work organising this special event. We found new partners and customers that we would have spent hours and days to contact directly!

 

Hervé Fauve, Customer and Loyalty Manager, TOTAL.

This meeting was a real and rare opportunity to get in touch and discuss with companies that  I would probably never have contacted because I ignored their existence. It was really interesting and challenging to discover their offer and quickly imagine what we could possibly build with them. My great regret was the lack of time to spend more time to explore new business areas with them. Congratulation for the organization of this day.

Mohamed Mehdi Khemiri, CEO, Favizone

The Retail Innovation TechMeeting was an excellent opportunity for us to make our start up better known, learn about other innovative start up, meet large corporation and get their feedback about our services and products, extend our network of contacts and interact with others participants. The event was well organized so that you can have a better idea about all participants during the pitch session and focus on the most interesting for us during the B2B meeting sessions.

Jasmine Lim,CEO, ePlankton

The Retail Innovation TechMeeting has provided a great opportunity for ePlankton to meet many key companies (large accounts and startups) in a day. The organisation team was very helpful and it was very professionally done. Timing was respected and we got many potential customers out of the day. We would attend again if such an opportunity exist.

Vincent Bryant, Founder, DEEPKI

When comes the time to develop your activity, as a young innovative company, it's hard to find available potential clients to discuss with. So, we look for opportunities to show that our solutions are relevant for our customers. Having special times to pitch in front of actors in a given industry and to chat around a casual lunch with them is a luxury. I strongly recommend PRE qualitative events. We opened business windows thanks to them.

Karim Abichat, CEO, SYKIO

Attend the Retail Innovation TechMeeting was a great chance for Sykio. A rare opportunity to meet big companies in a single place and around the same matters.

Jacques Cazin, CEO, Adways
This day was quite interesting as we could match extremely quickly the interest of both startups and large groups; as a start up time is our enemy. Here we did really make our day by pitching in front of groups difficult to reach and if the person was not the right contact, get a more relavant one. Usually, when we pitch it is in front of investors and funds. Here it was really to do business and this is the best source of revenue for start ups! Much before funds or subventions!
Pascal Peltier, VP Marketing & Digital Director, METRO Cash&Carry
I am very enthusiast when I see such an initiative coming from Paris Region! Digital will empower the whole industry and service landscape very soon and France, Paris Region in particular, will for sure play a big role! This Retail Innovation TechMeeting was the opportunity for METRO Cash & Carry France to present its vision of the HoReCa sector transformation and how open innovation will play a massive role: partnering with start-ups is a key enabler to embed our HoReCa customers into the digitization and the Retail Innovation TechMeeting gave to us a great opportunity to meet with very valuable and promising companies. Thank you for that!
Emmanuel Monzies, Head of Digital Innovation, PSA Peugeot-Citroën
These TechMeeting give us the opportunity to meet several innovative startups which could be interesting to work with. Being focused on a topic like Retail Innovation proved to be more effective.
