Hospitality and tourism is one of the fastest-changing industries, constantly transforming with the latest technology and consumer trends. That is why EHL's Incubator exists: to support promising startups or entrepreneurial projects that relate to tourism, hospitality or food and beverage sectors. It gathers together people who are passionate about the latest trends and technologies in hospitality or F&B, and gives them a place to bring their ideas to life, in EHL's Innovation Hub.
If you are passionate about the latest trends and technologies in hospitality or F&B, then we invite you to join us. We have a variety of resources available for our partners, and we will be happy to discuss your needs.
«The incubator gives us the opportunity to expand our network, find faithful partners, participate to key events and benefit from the support of hospitality professionals. It is a strategic point for us in the success of our startup.»
Our incubator is like a wheel that turns and builds momentum, with the startups and entrepreneurs at the center.
At the heart of the Hub, the startups have access to a wide variety of resources on-site and through EHL's students and faculty.
The visitors and community of the Innovation Hub draw on this entrepreneurial spirit and provide a useful sounding board for the hub's activities.
