The Impact of Sponsorship

Build | Mentor | Inspire

The hospitality industry is undergoing the most profound shift in its history. Technology is reshaping how guests experience travel, dining, and service—but the next wave of innovation isn’t coming from the usual players. It’s being built right now by ambitious founders who understand the evolving needs of the industry.

As a sponsor, you’re not just funding an accelerator—you’re embedding your brand at the very heart of hospitality’s future. You’ll gain exclusive access to early-stage startups poised to disrupt the industry. You’ll build relationships with the founders who are engineering the next generation of technology for travel, lodging, dining, and beyond. And most importantly, you’ll position your company as a market leader, actively shaping the innovations that will define hospitality for the next decade.
