EUROSHOP 2026: THE FUTURE OF RETAIL, DESIGN & LIGHTING

EUROSHOP 2026: WHERE THE FUTURE OF RETAIL, DESIGN & LIGHTING EVOLVES

Every three years, the global retail world gathers in Düsseldorf, Germany for EuroShop — the largest and most influential retail innovation show on the planet. With over 100,000 visitors from more than 60 countries, EuroShop has become the pulse of what’s next in store experiences, technology, and design.

This year was no exception.

Meeting Vendors, Partners & Clients From Around the World

As always, I spent time visiting several of our long-standing vendor partners and exploring new potential collaborations. EuroShop is where relationships deepen, supply chains expand, and ideas turn into future projects.

I also had the chance to connect with clients who walked the show looking for what’s next — a great reminder that Ideoli’s global reach is rooted in the trust and partnerships we’ve built over the years.

The Big Theme of 2026: AI Is Reshaping Retail

Artificial Intelligence dominated the show floor.

From smart store environments to adaptive shelving and immersive customer journeys, AI is driving a complete transformation in how retail spaces are designed and operated.

And lighting — our world — plays a central role in that shift.

Today’s lighting isn’t just illumination; it’s intelligence. It guides movement, enhances merchandising, and even personalizes the shopper experience. The conversations we had at EuroShop confirmed what we’ve believed for years:

Lighting is one of the most powerful tools shaping the next generation of retail environments.

A Global Platform for a Global Company

Walking through the Messe Düsseldorf halls reminded me once again why Ideoli thrives on international stages. Innovative lighting, strong logistics, and a forward-thinking approach connect us to projects across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Seeing emerging trends, reconnecting with partners, and identifying new opportunities inspires our roadmap for the next 12–18 months. Until 2029… Düsseldorf Never Disappoints

EuroShop continues to be where the industry meets, learns, and pushes boundaries. Proud to have been here once again — and already looking forward to the next one.

“When 100,000 people from around the world gather to define the future of retail, you feel the momentum, and Ideoli is right there in the heart of it.”
