To start your own company at TIEA, all you need is an idea and a passion for the business you intend to start, the rest we handle.  No need for a business plan in-contrast to other approaches to incubation, you don’t need a business plan to begin the Start-up Learning Program and our methodology is practical, simple, and quick. We prioritize the essentials right from the start and what matters most is the strength of your business idea and the market viability of your product or service. While on the program, Entrepreneurs receive action-oriented teaching and lecturing sessions, and then spend most of their time outside of TIEA talking to customers, partners, and competitors by using our customer development model and business model. You will learn the different approaches and techniques to market the tourism & hospitality business that is intangible.
