Following the success of the first edition of the MAPIC Academy, a second edition is being prepared for 2024.
This time, the winner will receive financial support of up to €10,000 and the chance to run a temporary shop free of charge in partnership with the Nhood and Ingka centers.
Cecile Peskine, who was already a mentor in 2023, will be back in the job for 2024.
So who will the new challengers be this year?And for those wondering what MAPIC and the MAPIC ACADEMY are:
MAPIC is the global ‘rendez-vous’ dedicated to professionals in the commercial, leisure, catering and technology sectors serving retail real estate, created in 1995.
Organized in Cannes, the 2024 edition will be held from 26 November to 28 November 2024.
At its 2023 edition, MAPIC launched the MAPIC Academy as an incubator for new retail chain creation projects.
Organized around a challenge, the MAPIC Academy is therefore a real opportunity for young retail companies created in the last five years and wishing to launch a new physical retail concept, to benefit from financial support and expertise to develop their ideas and concepts.
