EHL Hospitality Business School has announced a partnership with Apaleo, a leading property management platform, to integrate real-world technology into its Master's in Hospitality Management programme. This collaboration, starting with the upcoming academic cycle, aims to equip students with the skills needed to manage digitalisation in the hospitality industry effectively.

Apaleo, which supports over 2,200 properties across 30 countries, will serve as the first official industry partner for EHL's Human-Centred Digitalisation specialisation. The partnership will see Apaleo experts participating as guest speakers and hosting students for hands-on experiences with their platform and AI-driven Agent Hub. During the programme's Concept Week, students will develop new digital products inspired by Apaleo's projects and tackle real business research questions for their capstone projects.

Prof. Alessandro Inversini, specialisation director at EHL, emphasised the importance of technology serving people, stating, “Digital transformation succeeds or fails on how well it serves people, not on how advanced the technology is.”

Florian Montag, SVP Revenue at Apaleo and EHL alumnus, added, “Apaleo exists because we believe technology should empower hoteliers to achieve their goals and make life easier for their teams.”

This partnership is set to provide students with a contemporary understanding of hospitality technology, preparing them for roles where digital decisions are crucial. As Singapore anticipates significant growth in tourism, such initiatives are vital for developing future leaders in the hospitality sector.
