Since 2011, our Group organizes the Take Off! International Student Challenge to challenge teams of 3 on issues topics related to Accor's activities. The 2019 theme, which generated over 1,500 participants, was to imagine how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will enhance the guest experience in hotels.
2019 Take Off! Winners, iMEN from the National Economics University in VietnamTheir mobile app projects to connect travelers to each other based on their hobbies and interests—and staying at a JO&JOE hotel—won over all the members of the panel and led to them snagging the top prize, awarded by Sébastien Bazin, CEO of Accor!
The challenge is divided into 3 steps:
Step 1 Project implementation and publication on the Take Off! platform
Step 2 Among the teams with the highest number of votes, a grand jury selects 15 of them, who must then present their concept in video.
Step 35 finalist teams are selected by the jury and come to Paris to pitch their project in front of experts.
To foster dialogue with students and potential candidates, we hold get-togethers at our Global Headquarters in Paris - “Meet Up”, to discuss strategic subjects in the hospitality industry. The conferences are also broadcast on Facebook Live. Our Group's experts participate in the events, providing a unique opportunity to ask them questions and talk to our ambassador employees!
