Retail Show Australia 2026 confirms Microsoft as strategic partner for the Microsoft Innovation Hub

Retail Show Australia 2026 has confirmed Microsoft as a strategic partner for the Microsoft Innovation Hub, as the event continues to take shape across the ANZ market.

Working alongside the organising team, Microsoft will lead the development of the Innovation Hub, shaping how startup and innovation companies are brought into the platform and connected with retailers.


The Hub will serve as a dedicated environment for early-stage and scale-up companies, with a focus on real in-store execution, applied AI and retail infrastructure.


Across ANZ, retailers are moving beyond pilot programmes and aligning with partners they trust to deliver at scale. That shift is already influencing how companies position themselves within the market.


Retail Show Australia 2026 will take place in Melbourne from 22–24 September 2026.
