Start-up Pre-Acceleration Program (SUPA)

The Start-Up Pre-Acceleration Program (SUPA) supports students in turning their innovative ideas into MVPs. Over the program, participants benefit from hands-on workshops led by entrepreneurs and industry experts, personalized coaching, and practical tools to shape their entrepreneurial journey. SUPA fosters creativity, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving, culminating in a public presentation during EHL’s Open Innovation Summit or other public events and a certification ceremony recognizing the students’ commitment and progress. Whether students will pursue their project beyond the program or simply want to strengthen their entrepreneurial mindset, SUPA is a unique launchpad for future changemakers.
