AND EVENT THEMES 2026

The Dagorà ecosystem aims to support scalable innovation and put people at the center. During Lifestyle Innovation Day, as with all our endeavors, we bring together brands, tech companies, investors and start-ups for a stronger, more innovative LifestyleTech ecosystem.

AI superpowers

AI can empower social listening and data gathering capabilities, enabling brands to track consumer activities in-store, predict their needs, and visualize complex trends in real-time.

Collaboration platforms

Retailers are gaining confidence in the advantages of establishing collaborative platforms that encourage fast-testing and foster an innovative mindset among their teams.

Promoting agile culture

Shifting from traditional structures to more collaborative and cross-functional teams is key to fostering an open culture, promote knowledge sharing, and encourage employees to embrace change, agility, and continuous learning.

Investment and MA

The retail environment shows no signs of becoming less dynamic. We explore business strategy, investments and MA with funds, private equity and VCs to share their goals with our brands, tech suppliers and start-ups.

LAC Center

LUGANO

The LAC center was built by architect Ivano Gianola in 2015 on the site of the old Palace Hotel.


Notable for its imposing architecture and proximity to the lake, as well as hosting several international conferences each year (including the Dagorà Lifestyle Innovation Day), the LAC is home to a museum, theater and concert hall.

Visitors are welcomed by a 650 m3 foyer with large windows overlooking the lake and can feel entirely comfortable and at home in its commodious and well-serviced spaces.
