September 2, 2019 By Technologies.org Leave a Comment

Out of several hundreds of startups that applied to the program, Syte and 16 other startups passed the rigorous selection process. The program is a key component in Syte’s acceleration of its presence in the European market.

Syte, the leader in visual AI for retail, has announced today that it will be participating in Lafayette Plug and Play’s 3-month program in Paris. The premier business accelerator for the retail and e-commerce industries, which was born out of a partnership between Paris-based Galeries Lafayette Group and the Silicon Valley-based Plug and Play Tech Center, connects retail technology companies with France’s leading brands and retailers.

Of the hundreds of applicants, Syte was selected among 16 other companies to participate in the 7th batch. Inclusion in this program allows companies to accelerate business development by connecting with decision makers at France’s largest retail brands, learning from high level mentoring sessions, and exposure to Plug and Play’s global network of corporate partners and relevant industry investors.
