The closing of elBulli as a restaurant on 30 July, 2011 gave rise to a new milestone - the creation of a new organisation, elBullifoundation - which emerges as a universe for the generation of creativity. The goal is to design the project as a stellar space for knowledge within the new cooking paradigm for the coming decades. Revolving around creativity, the space is both integrating and interdisciplinary, given that the creative process is connected to philosophical reflection, the arts, science, practice and technology.

This case explores the transition of the successful haute couture restaurant, ElBulli, into an innovation centre based on digital technology, called the elBullifoundation. Students will explore topics such as brand management, strategy changes, business model transformation, and positioning.
