Marriott Hotels is jumping on the accelerator bandwagon with the launch of TestBED for early-stage startups. The group is looking for startups with products or services that further the traveller experience and are ready to go to market. Marriott’s accelerator will run as a six-week programme providing mentoring and workshops from the company as well as hotel for the startup to test their service. The initiative comes on the heel of a similar announcement this week from British Airways-parent IAG which launched Hangar 51. Other travel companies already running accelerator programmes include Travelport with its Labs initiative and JetBlue Technology Ventures. |
