hospitality and service industries

The hospitality and service industries don't innovate in isolation — and neither do we

The EHL Innovation Hub works with brands, hospitality groups, tourism boards, and public agencies to turn real operational challenges into structured innovation opportunities.

Whether you're looking to source solutions, run a challenge, access research and consulting expertise, or gain visibility within a global ecosystem of startups, investors, and industry leaders, there's a way in that fits your organization's priorities.

Venture growth program for corporates

The EHL Innovation Hub's Growth Program gives your organization structured access to the startup ecosystem.

Join as a corporate partner to engage with pre-vetted, revenue-generating ventures in hospitality, F&B, travel, luxury, education, wellness, and more.

Innovation challenges

Do you have an operational or strategic challenge you haven't been able to crack internally?

The EHL Innovation Hub turns challenges into a structured open innovation process. We define priorities, scout and matchmake global solutions, and guide the partnership through to adoption.

The result is faster access to solutions, reduced risk, and a clear path to implementation.
