About The Accelerator

A five-week programme to demystify AI and help UK retailers unlock its real business value.

AI is full of promise, but for many retailers, it’s hard to know where to start, what’s realistic, and how to ensure compliance. That’s where Galvia’s AI Adoption Accelerator comes in.

Over five weeks, this hands-on programme guides retailers through the key steps of AI adoption, from identifying high-impact use cases to understanding data readiness, risks, and regulations.

To celebrate the opening of our Manchester office, we’re offering 10 free spaces for retailers in the Greater Manchester area.
