The Gama Innovation Box is designed to help brands present their proposition clearly and effectively, enabling buyers to quickly assess potential and identify new listing opportunities.

Through the initiative, selected brands will benefit from tailored introductions to 10 major buyers from retailers, hotels and airlines, both in the UK and overseas, with product samples shared with targeted decision-makers. The Gama Innovation Box will also include a product profile outlining the listing opportunity and a 2-minute video pitch.
