In 2021, The European House – Ambrosetti launched Retail 5.0 Community, a multi-stakeholder community dedicated to specialised retail in Italy, with the aim of developing scenarios, strategies and policies to foster the sustainable development of this sector.

The final event of the first edition of Community Retail 5.0 was held on 15 December 2021, with the participation of all the partners involved in the initiative and the main national and European Institutions.

 On the next closed meeting the Community intends to listen to the voices of the various representatives of the reference Institutions with the aim of launching a constructive debate and developing together proposals for action to relaunch the sector and the country.

The meeting will focus on topics related to the Circular Economy and the contribution of the Specialised Retail sector to the transition towards a circular paradigm.

Ladeja G. Košir will contribute with her expert insights on the role of the transition brokers, as the key findings are showing, that complex and systemic circular transition has to be professionally orchestrated to ensure the engagement of all stakeholders engaged in the particular value chain (including retail).
