In a year that required swift adaptation and was shadowed by unknowns, RILA’s Startup Network has remained steadfast. Our startups helped retailers address civil unrest by preparing retailers to protect their associates and storefronts last summer as protests gripped the nation. They also showcased how to adapt to changing workforce trends and appeal to varied employee needs while workplaces remained remote. Additionally, the annual Startup Innovation Awards program received over 60 submissions from startup technologies around the world answering today’s most pressing asset protection and supply chain challenges, which you can read about here. Each finalist will also be pitching live and in-person at RILA’s first major events since the COVID pandemic began: the collocated Retail Asset Protection and LINK: The Retail Supply Chain Conference taking place on August 17-20 in Orlando, FL.
