The retail sector is changing rapidly. Digital transformation, evolving customer expectations, new ways of working and the green transition are all reshaping the skills needed across the retail and wholesale ecosystem.

To support this shift, EuroCommerce and UNI Europa are hosting a webinar on the Large Scale Partnership for the Retail Ecosystem, focusing on upskilling and reskilling for the future of work.

Taking place on Thursday, 11 June 2026, from 10:30 to 12:00 CEST, the webinar will bring together experts from across Europe to explore current skills needs, workplace trends and opportunities for collaboration within the retail sector.
