Recorded live from the VusionGroup Podcast Studio on NRF Europe's final day, we discover Carrefour's systematic innovation approach:

✅ Why they invested in "immature" computer vision 5 years ago (now scaling to stores)

✅ Its venture fund's 4 strategic investment streams

✅ Smart glasses "deep dive" with use cases for consumers AND associates
