TfL | Connected Retail London competition

The Context

Being one of London’s largest landowners, with more than 2,000 commercial units across their estate, Transport for London are proud to support a vibrant range of businesses. With over 31 million passenger journeys everyday, their network is a unique opportunity for many retailers.

As the needs of customers change, physical retail locations adapt and rethink their offerings and often become destinations in themselves!

The Challenge

TfL’s exciting competition challenges businesses to come up with an innovative and technological concept that reimagines physical retail space, meets the needs of their customers, and pushes the boundaries of retail.

They know customers are time-pressed, and with limited space, getting the right offer in place can be a real challenge!

If your solution is up for this challenge, then they want to hear from you

The Opportunity

The competition offers the winner the chance to pilot and test out their innovative concept as TfL will provide them with a retail unit on its estate for a year with a value of up to £100k as the prize.
