Keeping Up with Amazon: A Fresh VC Perspective

Amazon continues to dominate the world of e-commerce and set new consumer standards with the recent announcement of 1-day delivery and more than half of U.S. households being Prime members in 2019. In the post Amazon-era, retailers of all sizes know that they need to innovate to survive — 45% of commerce decisions are expected to be made via mobile and over 30% of CIOs named AI as a future priority investment by 2020.

But what technology should retailers and startups be prioritizing to stay in the race? From robotics to warehousing to delivery -- this panel joins up-and-coming voices from renowned VCs around the world to discuss the future of commerce. These are the experts who have lived the eBay - Amazon - Alibaba revolution and are here to talk about what they’ll be betting on next.
