VerSous brought together franchisors from the segments of HoReCa, services, and retail, as well as B2B companies and manufacturers of equipment and ingredients for vending, all under one roof.
A total of 115 companies from 21 regions of Russia and from China were represented. In the vending exposition, companies like Unicum, Ria Vendors East, LE Vending, Provending Machine, Gustomatica, Pervaya Voda, Pel-meni (manufacturer of dumpling vending machines), and many others participated. Monti Cafe and Roboshef showcased robotic food and beverage vending points. Companies like Pozitron, Metreshka, Telemetron, and others presented payment solutions, telemetry, and vending equipment.
The exhibition also featured various business services, ranging from cloud PBX systems to payment terminals and advertising analytics. Among the exhibitors were companies like Dom.ru, Fruit, Mango office, Wilstream, Telfin, UIS, Pinbox, Accept Card!, and Pay Engine.
Additionally, the exhibition showcased companies offering investment opportunities, such as R7miner - in cryptocurrency production, and PUNKT E - in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
"Among the franchises presented were both affordable concepts with investments ranging from 1-1.5 million rubles and expensive ones, such as those from Rosinter Restaurants and Novikov Group," commented Ekaterina Soyak, General Director of EMTG and organizer of VerSous, on the results of the exhibition. "In addition to well-known brands, franchises introduced interesting newcomers - a music school for drummers, a tool rental service, a cyber club for racing simulators, and more. The audience of the exhibition includes investors, potential franchisees, and existing entrepreneurs who came here for new ideas, business opportunities, and tools for its development.
We've designed the business program so that everyone can gain valuable knowledge and targeted contacts. More than 120 speakers have joined it, and the topics ranged from AI technologies to the intricacies of location selection and legal pitfalls. The audience showed great interest in topics related to new technologies, e-commerce, and optimization. At our autumn BuyBrand franchise exhibition, visitors can expect an equally impressive lineup of participants and a rich forum program."
