AI, Innovation & Executive Learning Journeys
Corporate Programs in Silicon Valley
Tailored programs for decision-makers who want to understand how artificial intelligence, robotics, agentic commerce, and new business models are transforming markets, organizations, and leadership.
Technological change is no longer just a digital transformation project. Artificial intelligence, generative AI, autonomous agents, robotics, new platform models, and data-driven ecosystems are reshaping how companies acquire customers, make decisions, organize processes, and create growth.
For senior and top management, this creates a central challenge: executives do not need to master every new technology themselves, but they do need to understand early on which developments are strategically relevant — and what they mean for business models, organizations, customer relationships, and competitiveness.
Retail Plus develops customized executive corporate journeys to Silicon Valley and selected innovation hubs. The programs combine strategic perspective, exclusive company visits, conversations with leading minds from technology, retail, AI, venture capital, and the start-up ecosystem, as well as focused reflection on what these insights mean for each company’s own business.
Why Now?
AI is moving from experimentation into the operational core of companies. The key question is no longer simply: “What can AI do?” It is: “How will AI change our value creation, our customer interface, our organization, and our leadership logic?”
Silicon Valley shows how quickly technological possibilities can become new market standards. Companies that understand these developments early are better positioned to assess opportunities, manage risks proactively, and shape their own transformation with greater confidence.

Unser Anspruch: Top Qualität
Direct Access Through an International
Top-Management Network
Top-Management Network
Retail Plus is more than a provider of innovation journeys. As the organizer of the annual International TCG Retail Summit at www.tcgsummit.com, we are in continuous dialogue with decision-makers, technology companies, and innovation leaders shaping the future of retail, consumer electronics, technical consumer goods, and IT.
This gives us access to a well-established, exclusive, and personal network in Silicon Valley and among leading technology companies — direct, trusted, and at senior level.
We do not work with local intermediaries or generic agency programs. Instead, we curate each journey through our own network. For participants, this means relevant conversation partners, strategic discussions at eye level, and insights that go far beyond traditional company visits.

Who Is the Program Designed For?
The program is designed for board members, supervisory board members, CEOs, managing directors, business unit leaders, and senior executives who want to understand how AI, innovation, robotics, new platform models, and digital ecosystems are changing their markets, organizations, and competitive position.
The program is deliberately cross-industry in scope — for publicly listed corporations, international business groups, industrial and B2B companies, service and platform companies, as well as leading companies in retail and consumer goods. What matters is not the industry, but the ambition to understand technological change early and make it strategically useful for the company.
