More than 80 retail and franchise partners gather for three days of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and strategic alignment.
Hudson Group welcomed over 80 retail and franchise partners from across Africa to Malta for the Hudson Partner Summit 2026, a three-day event focused on strengthening partnerships, sharing industry insights, and exploring future growth opportunities.
The summit brought together representatives from Hudson’s extensive partner network for a programme of business presentations, retail visits, networking sessions, and collaborative discussions designed to reinforce the strong relationships that underpin the Group’s success.
As a leading retail and distribution platform connecting Southern Europe and Africa, Hudson Group has spent nearly four decades building and growing globally recognised sport and fashion brands across multiple markets. Its portfolio includes renowned brands such as NIKE, Tommy Hilfiger, Mango, Calvin Klein and Sports Direct.
The event provided a valuable platform for partners to exchange ideas, discuss market trends, identify new opportunities, and align on a shared vision for future growth. Throughout the summit, participants engaged in meaningful conversations that highlighted the importance of collaboration, innovation, and long-term partnership in an evolving retail landscape.
“While strong brands remain at the centre of our business, it is the people and partnerships behind them that truly drive our success,” said Chris Muscat, Hudson’s CEO. “The Partner Summit reflects our commitment to working closely with our partners, creating opportunities for shared growth, and building lasting relationships across the regions we serve.”
The success of the event was made possible through the active participation of Hudson’s partners and the dedication of the Hudson team, whose efforts helped create an engaging and productive experience for all attendees.
As Hudson Group continues to expand its presence across Africa and Southern Europe, the Partner Summit sought to strengthen connections, celebrate achievements, and lay the foundations for future success.
