Grab2Go revolutionizes convenience with autonomous retail stores
Stepping into Connect Day — the lightning-fast networking event at ViennaUP — you're immersed in a world of founders, investors, and innovators. One team stood out: Grab2Go, an Estonian deep-tech startup rethinking convenience and pharmacy retail.
We captured their story live, interviewing one of the founders. Here's what we learned.
Grab2Go creates fully autonomous, modular robotic stores for convenience stores, pharmacies, and petrol stations.
Their solution combines:
- Compact robotic hardware for order-picking
- IoT-powered, AI-driven cloud platform for real-time stock planning, predictive maintenance, and consumer behavior insights
- Support for restricted goods via ID/age verification, plus live video chat with a pharmacist in autonomous pharmacy setups
Their system supports up to 3,000 SKUs, multi-temperature zones, and allows one operator to manage 6–8 unmanned outlets—drastically cutting labor costs and food waste.
