We bring your products to market

Direct access to leading retailers for faster market entry on an international level.

Our REG Innovators division specializes in selecting and marketing innovative products for established retailers. We create a bridge between visionary start-ups, growth-oriented scale-ups, and retail. Our product scouting platform enables new market participants to achieve attractive listings and compete effectively. Companies can apply directly, while we strategically introduce suitable products and brands to our exclusive network of retail partners.

We act as a bridge to retail partners on an international level, enabling startups and scale-ups to successfully position themselves in the retail environment.

We provide the following support:
  • Efficient Listing and Integration: Through direct contacts and tailored strategies, REG facilitates the inclusion of new products into the assortments of leading retailers, ensuring a swift market launch.
