Welcome to the IMI Family

IMI is the only truly Swiss family-owned hospitality management institute. I will hand over to my daughter Isabelle who, together with our management team, will ensure that the IMI ethos continues.

After so many truly enthusiastic years, how do we stay so motivated? Simple: Whenever my daughter or I meet graduates, we can see how IMI enabled them to become the confident, successful professionals they are today.
