The Expo Riva Schuh and Gardabags, scheduled to take place from June 14 to 17, 2025, are set to unveil an exciting development: nine innovative startups ready to transform the fashion industry. Organized by Riva del Garda Fierecongressi, this international fair not only focuses on technological innovation but also emphasizes sustainability and the shopping experience. The selected startups will participate in the Innovation Village Retail, a space dedicated to the intersection of technology and fashion retail, where they will have the opportunity to present their ideas through pitches in front of a panel of experts.
These initiatives represent a unique opportunity to explore how artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies can enhance the fashion supply chain, from design to supply chain management. Among the innovative solutions proposed, some startups will provide tools to analyze customer behavior in physical stores or foot-scanning services to ensure perfect footwear fit. With over 40 countries represented among exhibitors and visitors, the event reaffirms its status as a significant reference point for the industry and a vibrant laboratory for ideas aimed at making retail more efficient and responsible.
