From recognition to real innovation — Live at NRF APAC 2025

Fynd was at NRF 2025 APAC and featured  in Forrester’s “2025 NRF APAC Innovators: Retail-Focused Tech Companies To Watch”

Fynd took the spotlight at NRF APAC 2025 as part of the Innovator Showcase. NRF APAC 2025, themed “Retail Unlimited,” is the region’s most powerful convergence of retail visionaries, tech disruptors, and global brands. The event featured:

  • 300+ exhibitors
  • 42 Big idea sessions
  • 1900+ participating brands
  • 10,000+ delegates

The Retail Expo offered a front-row seat to the latest innovations and breakthrough technologies reshaping retail — from enhanced customer journeys to back-end digital transformation.For Fynd, this year marked a major leap. We didn’t just attend — we showcased and we won.


What we showcased: AI-powered fashion design in real time

From concept to collection, see how DaaS is reshaping the fashion lifecycle

Fynd took center stage at Booth 2106 with our breakthrough DaaS (Design as a Service) platform — earning a spot in the exclusive Innovator Showcase. We demonstrated how fashion can now move: From imagination to shelf — in just 18 days. Here’s what attendees saw in action:

  • 4x faster product development
  • 30% lower design costs
  • AI-powered trend discovery
  • Instant mockups and tech packs

Already powering faster go-to-market for brands like Avaasa, Lee Cooper, Mothercare, Performax, and Shein — helping them design smarter, transform thousands of SKUs, and launch collections in record time.

What we bagged: A spot on Forrester's Top 25 Retail Tech Innovators List

One of 25 tech solutions solving retail’s toughest problems

We’re incredibly proud to be named in Forrester’s 2025 NRF APAC Innovators List — a prestigious selection of 25 retail tech companies driving real change in retail.Chosen by the NRF Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC), this selection recognizes Fynd’s impact in product data enrichment, automation, and AI-powered design— solutions already helping global retailers unlock new speed, visibility, and control across their businesses. Whether it's accelerating go-to-market timelines or automating manual bottlenecks, Fynd’s solutions are helping retailers thrive in today’s AI-powered retail landscape.

"Product development is often a time-consuming and expensive process. 3D software has helped, but it is not always accessible to many firms. Fynd’s DesignStudio tool uses genAI to capture text prompts from product design teams and then create renderings of new items, which can help to speed up approval flows and ultimately the time it takes to produce goods. Brands such as Avaasa, LeeCooper, Mothercare, Performax, and Shein are working with Fynd."
