On 9 December 2025, join the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities and the European Commission (DG MOVE) as they co-host a pivotal webinar focusing on incubators and accelerators for travel and tourism start-ups. Ideal for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders in the tourism sector, this event will delve into the vital role these support mechanisms play in a sector largely composed of SMEs that require robust innovation to remain competitive.

Key topics include identifying the most effective support strategies for early-stage businesses, examining best practices and success stories, and evaluating the demand for creating a network to bolster tourism entrepreneurship. Participants will gain insights from a draft OECD policy paper, directly contributing to shaping business support programs and the forthcoming EU Sustainable Tourism Strategy.
