Hanshow, Microsoft, Intel, and E Ink Jointly Release Industry White Paper Exploring Green Digitalization in the Future of Retail

BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hanshow, Microsoft, Intel, and E Ink have issued a joint white paper on Green Digitalization - a process whereby the simultaneous digitalization and pursuit of green sustainability can be a dual engine for growth in the retail industry. The four companies collectively possess leading technical expertise and innovative capabilities in their respective fields that retailers can leverage to not only survive but thrive through Green Digitalization. The retail industry is undergoing a significant shift towards sustainability, and technology is playing a crucial role in driving this change.

Written against the backdrop of a changing global retail industry where digitalization and sustainability are two urgent goals that can complement each other and become double engines for retail growth, the white paper emphasizes the importance of Green Digitalization for the industry's sustainability. With data analysis and prediction, retailers can better understand market demand, optimize product structure, improve inventory management, and reduce resource waste and expenditure.

Hanshow's SVP and Head of Global Sales Liangyan Li said, "We believe that we can bring a greener and more digitalized future to retailers through technology. This white paper is an important step taken by Hanshow, which not only showcases our ecological cooperation with Microsoft, Intel, and E Ink but also reveals how we can realize this vision through collaboration and innovation."

This paradigm shift is a testament to the potential of technology to reshape retail landscapes, enhancing connectivity and propelling the industry into a new era of innovation and customer-centricity."

Richard Zhang, CTO & Senior Principal AI Engineer, Network & Edge BU, Intel China believes “As the digitalization of retail gains momentum, more retailers are harnessing AI as a cornerstone for improving business operations, driving revenue growth, and gaining deeper insights into consumer preferences. Intel's collaboration with Hanshow revolves around integrating our advanced technologies to enhance these efforts, thereby enabling retailers to not only deliver unique shopping experiences but also contribute to environmental conservation."
