METRO Xcel for Hospitality 2019/20; Bootcamp 2 kick off!

In November 2019, we successfully launched the first part of our new METRO Xcel for Hospitality program ; Bootcamp 1. Bootcamp 1 took place over the course of 5 days with seven later stage companies from France, Singapore, Spain, and Germany, all with the common goal to scale throughout Europe.

During Bootcamp 1 startup CEOs met with European country representatives and key stakeholders from METRO to exchange ideas on how they might build toward a pilot. Following these results and feedback from individual training sessions by expert professionals selected companies were invited back for Bootcamp 2 which kicked off Today, 20 Jan 2020…

Bootcamp 2 sees even deeper and more vigorous training in areas like culture, finance, and board management, paired with real piloting opportunities. The companies that were invited back include:

• Heura – Foods for Tomorrow based in Spain – “Meat alternatives sourced from plant-based ingredients.”
