“A Stage for Future-oriented Topics and Their Actors”

When he founded ACROSS in 2008, Reinhard Winiwarter said, “I love retail.” That same phrase now serves as his motivation in 2023. In his personal review of the past 15 years, the founder of, editor of, and provider of ideas for ACROSS emphasizes how important it is to orient oneself towards forward-looking topics in the dynamic retail real estate world. However, the key factor that determines one’s own success and that of the industry is passion for the industry.

Shopping centers should adopt the successful concepts of their outlet colleagues?

“Could this be the right time for the shopping center industry to pull itself together and adopt the successful concepts of its outlet colleagues? – This question was raised at the end of the first Retail Talk in 2023. On February 15, 2023, a top-class panel discussed “Outlets – A Winning Retail Format.”

“We Could Save the World”

When it comes to shaping the future in a positive way, it is impossible to overstate the influence retailers can have. Retail and shopping centers should become much stronger communicators of a positive consumer vision, especially with regard to sustainability, says Andreas Steinle, CEO and founder of Zukunftsinstitut Workshop. The crisis year of 2023 must be a year in which retailers recapitulate their understanding of their role.
