The Uprise Festival is all about Startups. What interested me is that they tried to connect startups with enterprises.
This is a valuable idea for both parties. So I decided to participate in the most recent edition. They gathered together about 120 startups from across Europe. I investigated all of them to pick the most interesting startups from an eCommerce perspective.
Tool – EFFECT.AI

AI for UX. I was thinking about this idea for 2 years and they just did it. Great!

Tool – PHIZZARD

German-based platform for a digital fitting room. They could be the bridge between off-line and on-line retail, bringing clients onboard the eCommerce train.
