Focused on ventures still refining product-market fit, solution design, and go-to-market strategy, the initiative targets entrepreneurs driven to address real-world challenges through innovation and sustainable business models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start-ups selected for the program will take part in four intensive two-day workshops led by MIT faculty and staff. Participation in person is mandatory for at least two team members per venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global methodology, local impact<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/rosey.mit.edu\/\">MITdesignX<\/a> curriculum, refined through nearly a decade of global deployment, guides founders through structured exercises in product design, communication, hiring, marketing, and fundraising. Start-ups are challenged to validate assumptions, speak directly to customers, and base strategic decisions on rigorous evidence and creative experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants benefit from the same methodology that has supported over 200 ventures launched through MITdesignX programs in cities such as Cambridge, Venice, Dubai, and Hong Kong. Past graduates of the program have created impactful solutions in sectors including housing, health, energy, water, and mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new initiative marks the first time the accelerator comes to Switzerland. It reflects Le Rosey\u2019s growing commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation education, and complements the school\u2019s international outlook. The MITdesignX Le Rosey program will further enrich Western Switzerland\u2019s entrepreneurial ecosystem by fostering early-stage ventures with a strong foundation and global ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Rolle\u2019s strategic location near Geneva and Lausanne, the program also strengthens the Lake Geneva region\u2019s position as a launchpad for innovation-driven companies in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In collaboration with MITdesignX, Institut Le Rosey is launching a new start-up acceleration program in Rolle, aiming to
