Żabka awarded for the project of autonomous stores

Żabka Polska was among the leaders of the Polish economy distinguished by the editors of money.pl. The company won the money.pl award in the Technology of the Year category for the project of autonomous Żabka Nano stores. The award was received by Paweł Grabowski, director of unmanned solutions at Żabka Future, at the final gala which took place on May 11 during Impact’22 in Poznań.

Żabka Polska was awarded by the jury of the competition for the design of Żabka Nano autonomous stores. The first outlet in an innovative format – allowing you to make purchases in seconds, without queues, without cash or contact with the staff – was launched in June 2021. Żabka Nano stores operate in several formats, such as stand-alone container vending machines, traditional brick-and-mortar, or store-in-the-store facilities. Each of them uses technology developed in close cooperation with the American technology company AiFi. Currently, there are 41 Żabka Nano stores, which are located in Gdańsk, Katowice, Kraków, Piaseczno, Plewiska, Poznań, Sopot, Warsaw and Wrocław. This makes Żabka the largest chain of autonomous stores in Europe.

The editors of money.pl awarded the leaders of the Polish economy for the fourth time. Money.pl awards went to the most innovative companies and people who look at business in an unconventional and modern way, setting trends. In addition to the Technology of the Year, for which Żabka Polska was awarded, the Start-up of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year was selected. This year, the editorial office also awarded a special prize, which was awarded – symbolically – to all Ukrainian entrepreneurs.

This year’s winners were selected by a jury composed of the presidents of the largest Polish companies, experienced managers, as well as representatives of the editorial office of money.pl and Wirtualna Polska. This prestigious prize has been awarded since 2019.
