Hive 2.0: New retail innovation space opens at Esplanade MRT

From virtual shopping assistants to bubble tea made by robots, more innovative retail concepts could soon be featured at train stations. At Esplanade MRT, a test bed gives 10 firms a feel of the ground and provides consumers fresh retail experiences. Called Hive 2.0, the retail innovation space is the first to be located within Singapore’s rail network. The goal is to help retail SMEs trial new technology in an environment with relatively lower risk. Nadirah Zaidi reports.
