Taking shopping further through the power of experience

Over 40 years ago, Global Blue pioneered the concept of Tax Free Shopping, changing the retail landscape and empowering international shoppers worldwide. Since then, its journey has evolved, now encompassing three families of solutions: Tax Free Shopping, Payments, and Post-Purchase Solutions.

Within these industries, Global Blue consistently leverages its integrated software and data to bring value at every step of the journey and take shopping further. Driven by this commitment, Global Blue teams create engaging experiences that foster connections between consumers and brands while simplifying processes, to ensure every customer journey is seamless and intuitive. Through these efforts, Global Blue enables its clients to seize business opportunities, enhance customer loyalty, boost sales, and optimize operations and costs.

“At Global Blue, we firmly believe that improving the shopping journey drives performance. This renewed focus on experience and performance is not just a slogan; it's a guiding principle that permeates through the company. Our rebranding and repositioning announced today is a major step for the company, as it enables us to better reflect these commitments”, Jacques Stern, Global Blue President and CEO.

As Global Blue considered all the ways to reintroduce itself to the wider world, it sought a defining signature that embodies its values and vision. ‘Enjoy the Journey’ is the mantra of its commitment to enhance the shopping experience.

Guiding clients and partners

This rebranding continues to propel Global Blue partners and clients to the next level of customer experience, without compromising on the quality of service throughout this transition and beyond.

During this repositioning, Global Blue is focused on seamlessly facilitating the shopper's journey across all touchpoints. From the Global Blue app to our Mobile Customer Care, every digital interaction will remain seamless. Additionally, physical locations, including Global Blue VIP Lounges and the Refund point network, will be completely rebranded by summer.

Rivercell Launches With $25 Million to Build Data Platforms and AI Models That Predict How Human Cells Respond to Treatment7.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

Rivercell, a Paris-based biotechnology and AI company building its own data infrastructure on how human cells respond to any treatment and training a world model of the cell that can predict those responses, today announced a $25 million seed round led by HV. HCVC, Alven and Bpifrance Digital Venture also participated in the round, which will fund the scale-up of Rivercell’s proprietary data generation platform, the expansion of its wet lab in Paris (a lab working with chemicals and biological samples), and the launch of its AI Virtual Cell program. Being indication-agnostic, Rivercell's world model can drive groundbreaking discovery across any cell behavior that leads to disease because it learns the underlying rules of how human cells respond to drugs and genetic changes, not the features of a single disease. Rivercell was started in summer 2025 by CEO Yann Fleureau, the engineer-turned-entrepreneur behind AI company Cardiologs, joined in 2026 by CSO Eric Durand, an AI scientist and

NTT DATA Opens AI Factory Munich Where Clients Can Validate their AI in a Live Environment7.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today opened the NTT DATA AI Factory Munich, a real-world environment where clients can test how their AI applications will perform at scale before they invest in broad deployments. Unlike a traditional AI demonstration or innovation lab, the AI Factory Munich operates within a live data center environment (NTT Global Data Centers' Munich 2 Data Center), allowing clients to evaluate AI workloads against the infrastructure, security, data, governance and operational requirements they will face in production. AI deployments typically stall between pilots that prove an idea and enterprise-scale production that delivers value. To bridge this gap, the AI Factory Munich leverages NTT DATA’s capabilities from consulting, infrastructure and AI platforms to managed services, data centers and its global partner ecosystem. Among active partners, NVIDIA provides an accelerated computing platform, including NVIDIA Blackwell
