Aragón Open Future, a joint program of Telefónica Open Future and TZIR (Zaragoza’s Innovation in Retail Center), selects six retail startups that will enter its second acceleration program.
In the Aragón Open Future acceleration program, each startup works with either a sister store, a chain of stores, or shopping center during the entire process, with the aim of reaching the end of the route with a pilot implemented at the point of sale.
The accelerator is the main tool to democratize innovation and in its first edition, they managed to design technological solutions in the fields of augmented reality, virtual reality, hyperreality, and big data, which are already being implemented in retail shops and shopping centers in Aragón.
The six retail startups participating in this year’s accelerator program were chosen out of 34 candidates with three coming from Aragón, one from Madrid, one from Barcelona, and one from Extremadura, according to El Referente.
