For cross-border sellers, this means potential opportunities to develop AI tools that enhance offline retail experiences and reduce operational costs.\n\n3. **Technology-Enabled Retail Transformation**: The inaugural RTIH AI in Retail Awards recognizes innovations that embed practical AI applications, moving beyond theoretical concepts to tangible business solutions. This signals a massive opportunity for technology providers and sellers to develop cutting-edge retail solutions.\n\nThe conference underscores a critical message for global sellers: offline retail is not declining, but evolving.
