Fresh ideas for the hospitality industry
Collect and implement ideas that improve the hospitality industry. With this goal in mind, the Hospitality Booster – an initiative of HotellerieSuisse and its partners – provides networking opportunities for hoteliers, partners from the hotel industry, start-ups and interested third parties.
Pilot projects
From ideas to concepts and pilot projects – here you will find an overview of current ideas and projects that have been entered and developed in the Booster.
The Lab Hotel
In the Lab Hotel of the Hotel Management School Thun, the latest innovations and ideas from students and industry representatives are implemented directly and tested with guests. There is probably no more direct and faster feedback with any other concept. This “Test & Learning” approach fits perfectly into the Hospitality Booster ecosystem, as only with honest feedback can services and processes be improved and added value for customers and businesses created.
Ideas and project support
The path from the idea to the implemented project is rocky and is usually only fun if you follow it together. As a core element of the Hospitality Booster, your idea will be taken up as part of a structured process, supported accordingly – including financially with partner organisations where necessary – and shared with the Community

Inspiration & trends
Often, an impetus for a good idea comes from outside. That’s why we present inspiring ideas and projects from the community and research results from our partner schools in our blog and at events
Village de l’innovation
EHL’s business incubator, the Village de l’innovation, is home to successful food and hospitality service start-ups. The innovative ecosystem actively promotes entrepreneurship and offers a space for direct research. Inspiration and innovation are brought to life by students and entrepreneurs in the Village de l’innovation. With EHL and the Village de l’innovation, we are the perfect partner for delivering ideas in an implementation-oriented manner in the context of the Hospitality Booster and leveraging the many synergies. In doing so, we want to learn from each other through close communication and work together on acute areas of innovation through the interplay of students, start-ups, experts and ideas.
