The weekend is coming, and on Saturday you will be more than a hundred for Vinocamp in Lausanne. Do not hesitate to add to the forum by advancing the debate.
This edition of the Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne will also be an opportunity for startups and project leaders in the wine industry, with eight teams to present their company and convince you.
The Vinocampeurs will vote for their favorite projects through Vinoeuros by dividing their savings for each project. The one that raised the most votes will be rewarded with Reservoir Funds.
A jury will also award the “33entrepreneurs” prize to the selected startup. Team spirit, originality, competitiveness … these criteria will be tested and added to again with a coaching week in Bordeaux in the new accelerator dedicated to wine, gastronomy and tourism.
