P&G is looking for solutions for the future of retail

Deadline: April 17, 2026

P&G is looking for new technologies and platforms that can help reshape how they plan, collaborate, and create value with our retail partners. We're looking for solutions across three strategic areas:

• Retail & Commerce: Technologies redefining how consumers discover and purchase products — including agentic commerce, social commerce, last-mile delivery, and the in-store experience.

• Integrated Media Ecosystem: Solutions at the intersection of retail media, shopper marketing, and AI-driven content — including shoppable formats, personalization at scale, and onsite-to-offsite experiences.

• Retailer-Manufacturer Collaboration & Ways of Working: Tools and platforms that modernize how CPGs and retailers plan and work together — including workflow automation, shared data infrastructure, AI-assisted planning, and agent-to-agent collaboration models.

Domains of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Agentic Commerce (AI agents mediating purchase)
  • Social Commerce & Creator-Led Discovery
  • Last-Mile & Speed-of-Delivery Innovation
  • Retail Media Optimization
  • Competitive Data (pricing, traffic, impressions)
  • AI Powered Category Management (planograms, digital shelf, etc)
  • Shared Data Infrastructure / Data Collaboration Platforms
  • AI Powered Negotiation & Planning Tools
  • Real Time Inventory Visibility Across Retailers

 

P&G OFFER

Where there is a good fit, P&G is looking to for potential collaborations, pilot and test solutions. 

SUBMISSION PROCESS 

Please submit your solution here by April 17. Early submissions have higher chances of being chosen to pilot. 

- All responses will be reviewed by P&G Team.

- Select startups will be contacted by a P&G team member to schedule a meeting to present additional details on your company and solution as well as a demo.
