Only eight concepts are left to compete in the 2019 Grand Prix Commerce Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which fosters innovation in retail.
Among the 125 projects submitted for this 13th edition, a record, the 16 best concepts were selected by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield's teams. On May 17th, the semi-finalists pitched their project in front of the teams, who elected their favourite. The general public also had a say in the final selection, choosing one project through online voting. Then, on May 28th and 29th, a panel of retail experts designated the six projects that will go through to the grand finale alongside the two 'fan favourites'.
On September 25th, the eight concepts selected will pitch in front of the Jury, chaired by Mercredes Erra (BETC founder) and Christophe Cuvillier (Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield CEO). The three winning concepts (Grand Prize Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, Boutique Prize and Pop-up Prize) will be announced during the award ceremony the following day. The winners will receive a global grant of €1.5M to finance their opening in one of our shopping centres in France.
