homie AI Is Now a Member of the ECC CLUB Cologne
20 August 2026

A place for genuine professional exchange with the retail industry β one that isn't just about networking, but about real substance. That's exactly what homie AI had been looking for, and it is now a member of the ECC CLUB Cologne.
What is the ECC CLUB Cologne?
For over 20 years, the ECC CLUB has pooled the knowledge of the retail industry and supported its digitalisation β backed by the research of the IFH Cologne. Its members are companies from retail, wholesale and e-commerce that share ideas on current developments and learn from one another.
The ECC CLUB was founded by Dr Kai Hudetz, who still leads the IFH Cologne as its Managing Director today.

What does this mean for the collaboration?
