Want to meet our XR innovators?
We will select 20 teams, comprised of innovative research-oriented institutions and business-driven organisations, to co-develop our XR platform and engage new use cases to demonstrate its replicability in different domains. They will also receive funding (€100.000 for co-developers and €200.000 for use-case) and be part of a 12-month support program, in which they will have continuous guidance and support, access to tech and business experts, capacity building on CORTEX2 and XR technologies & trends and access to resources to facilitate the integration and understanding of our CORTEX2 platform.
Stay tuned to our website and social media channels (LinkedIn and Twitter) to meet them!
