Composite Higgs models provide a viable solution to the hierarchy problem. The models predict a new strongly coupled sector at the TeV scale which comes with virtues (discoverable new resonances at the LHC) and new questions (“What is the underlying strongly coupled model?”). In the first part of the talk, I present results on the prospects to detect heavy vector-like resonances (“top partners”) at LHC run 2. In the second part I discuss a potential UV embedding leading to a viable composite Higgs model, its new resonances and their phenomenological implications.
