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.
Open Innovation Programs
We realize for private and public customers Open Innovation programs by running design thinking workshops to identify innovation needs, designing challenge-based collaborations, scouting and matching ventures and solutions, facilitating proof-of-concept projects, and guiding partnerships to accelerate technology adoption, market access, and mutual business growth.
In our bright new campus we offer and use spaces to serve as testbeds for Corporate and Start-ups to test and showcase digital and physical technologies, while receiving real life feedback from a global customer base. This groundbreaking initiative aims to foster collaboration between the start-up community and multiple industries while providing a unique place to test, refine, and demonstrate their cutting-edge solutions.

As part of the testbed initiative, EHL Innovation Hub is launching an unmanned project focused on room automation within the campus. This project aims to test innovative technologies that enhance the guest experience and operational efficiency in hotel rooms with a focus on sustainability and design. Companies participating in the unmanned project can leverage data analytics to gather insights on guest preferences, usage patterns, and operational performance. This data-driven approach enables continuous improvement and informed decision-making, leading to enhanced services and operational strategies.
