3:20 PM 6: Panel: Power in Partnership: How Tech Collaborations Are Redefining Innovation and Customer Value
No retailer can build every capability it needs on its own, and the pace of change in data and AI has made going it alone even harder. The brands pulling ahead are increasingly those that treat technology providers as true partners, co-creating solutions rather than simply buying them. This group of technology leaders will explore why ecosystem thinking outperforms solo transformation, how brands and providers are co-developing new customer experiences, how to balance speed, security, and scalability in data and AI partnerships, and what cultural alignment and governance make collaborations succeed, drawing on real-world examples that have delivered measurable results.
