Business Incubator: from ideas to implementation

Are you an entrepreneur with a new concept you would like to launch?

Are you looking for help in developing a business plan for your product or service?

Would you like to start an innovative company but feel that you need more business competencies and experience?

Do you have the financial resources to carry the project through?

INTEHL’s business incubator will help and support you in creating your company, bringing it to the point where it is ready to be launched on the open market, and then help it to grow.

How does it work?

INTEHL specializes in coaching entrepreneurs. If your idea has potential, we can help you to create a professional business plan that will give you a strong basis for seeking funding for your project. We will coach you in presenting your concept convincingly, and put you in touch with external investors. If you successfully obtain funding, we can help you turn your project from theory to reality with the help of INTEHL’s business incubator.

Our incubator services include:

  • market research
  • setting up a marketing strategy
  • creating a corporate name
  • acquiring your first clients, drawing up a budget

… whatever is needed for your particular project. We can provide not only expertise, but also office space and administrative support services. The Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne itself is a perfect laboratory in which to test your concept and develop a prototype.

At the end of the incubation process, your company will be launched on the market and will be ready to develop its activities.

Step 1: Do you have a hospitality-related business idea? To enter the INTEHL Business Incubator please submit your application to INTEHL. If it is positive we will invite you to enter the second step of the incubation process.

Student project

During the first phase of our business incubation service, we offer a Student Entrepreneurship Project which provides help in building your business plan.

Pitch Day

The Entrepreneurship Forum is a yearly event organized at EHL and where investors come to evaluate the business potential of the business plans that are presented to them.
