MS SESSION

MC is the food retail market leader in Portugal with a number of distinctive business segments, which offer a varied range of high-quality products at the best prices: Continente (hypermarkets), Continente Modelo and Continente Bom Dia (convenience supermarkets), Meu Super (franchised supermarkets), Bagga (cafeterias), Go Natural (healthy food supermarkets and restaurants), Make Notes, Note! (book shops/stationery), ZU (dogs and cats products and services), Wells (health, well-being and eye care) and Dr. Well’s (dental and aesthetic medicine clinics).

MC breathes innovation and aims to build the future of retail. They’ve been cooperating with different partners (Companies, Startups, Research and Development Centers…) to improve the shopping experience wherever their customers are and to push forward the way they operate across the value chain.

Do you have a technology-based solution that can make a dent in the retail industry? Is your product disrupting a different industry and you believe it would do the same in Retail? Then, they are looking for you.

During this session MC will present how they are currently engaging with startups and what they are looking for, after the event, you will be invited to present your solution. Based on the applications received, a select number of startups will be invited to a one-to-one meeting with MC
