The First Intake of the Innovation in Retail Programme Has Been Launched

The first intake of the Innovation in Retail programme brought together GSB students and practitioners from the retail industry and other spheres. In the course of the training, the students will get acquainted with the current situation in retail and develop an innovative product for future implementation in the company's work. Working in teams, they will have the opportunity to share knowledge and make valuable contacts in the retail industry.

Ahead of the programme launch, a series of face-to-face events were organised to immerse trainees in the retail industry and a hybrid session on innovation and start-up development.
