Member Testimonials

Charlotte de La Baume & Mathias Faigaux

Managing Partners of Beelong

“EHL is a cornerstone for tomorrow's hospitality industry and it's therefore a real opportunity for a young company to grow within the incubator. Beelong benefits from EHL’s extensive network and valuable support. We also have the opportunity to implement our indicator in the F&B outlets on-site – we couldn’t be any closer to those impacted by our tool!”

Oliviero Pinotti

Founder of StudyBud

"Thanks to the EHL Innovation Hub, the StudyBud Team and I, not only found a welcoming team and a comfortable working space, but an inspiring community of start-ups and a wonderful network on which we can count for opportunity of growth and success."

Joël Iunius

Co-Founder of NexSwiss Sàrl

“I had the chance to begin my journey in the InnoHub while being a student in EHL, the hub provides you great tools to explore your ideas and projects, while being in the center of the hospitality industry. Thanks to people I met there and the support I received I was able to grow our tourists' products which are now live in multiple cities (citytourplayer.com). Recently we also launched a new audioguide app made by A.I. on the market (StreetPhonia.com), the InnoHub continue to be a key partner in this adventure.”
