Food and beverage

The food and beverage landscape is fast-changing; consumer demand and changing shopping habits are providing opportunities for businesses to expand and diversify globally.

Food manufacturing is set to be an industry most affected by AI technologies, while the complex array of industry-specific regulations around the world, inflation and the battle between grocery retailers to maintain market share also creates a challenging environment.

Retail

There has been a seismic shift in retail over the past few years and this is only set to continue.

Shopping habits have changed significantly over the last decade, and whether it's visiting a physical store, ordering online or making payments via smartphones, shoppers expect a convenient and seamless end to end experience.

Hospitality and Leisure

The global hospitality and leisure sector is transforming at a rapid pace.

New technology is revolutionizing the way we book hotel rooms, tables in restaurants and cinema tickets. Meanwhile, hospitality companies are continually introducing new brands and repositioning existing ones. Today’s consumers demand fast and efficient booking platforms and personalization, such as being able to choose their preferred room, table or theater seat.
