Kateřina Szabová joined Retail Summit 2025 in Prague to explore key trends shaping the future of retail — including unattended solutions and self-service payments.

Switchio was proud to be represented by Kateřina Szabová at this year’s Retail Summit in Prague, one of the region’s leading retail-focused events. The conference brought together key voices and companies to explore how innovation, automation, and AI are transforming the customer experience.

A major focus of the summit was the rise of unattended retail. Including self-service formats, automated stores, and reverse vending, all enabled by secure, round-the-clock payment technology. Switchio is already supporting this shift with live deployments across multiple countries. Our payment orchestration platform powers secure, efficient transactions in unattended retail stores, vending machines, and self-service kiosks.

“It’s clear that retail is evolving fast,” Kateřina noted. “The industry is adapting not only to new technology, but also to changing customer expectations around convenience, speed, and autonomy.”

With its flexible architecture and acquirer-agnostic model, Switchio continues to support retailers as they scale into new formats and markets. As consumer habits change, we’re building the payment infrastructure to support the future of shopping — anytime, anywhere.
