CB Insights has been seeing this kind of start-up activity accelerating around digital scent. The firm also notes that major tech-makers like Google have been pursuing breakthroughs to better understand the olfactory arts and sciences, including how to encode scent using artificial intelligence. “Google’s AI team recently announced that it used machine learning to map molecules to perceived smells,” CB Insights added.
“I’m really excited about the number of folks creating textiles and fashion products who are being more environmentally conscious, and I think technology is allowing that a lot more — from the way we use machines, to the way we sew, to the way we take blue jeans, for example,” Elizabeth Gore, president and cofounder of fintech firm Hello Alice, told WWD.
“Data analytics is getting so much cheaper, it’s clearly going to give new people who are selling fashion a big leg up on some of the bigger brands, because it’s bringing a lot of equity,” she said.“The expansion and availability of 5G is a hot topic broadly, but also in the retail industry — and not just for the connectivity of the consumer,” said Kasey Lobaugh, chief retail innovation officer at Deloitte.
