Tech Tour XR 2020 | Tech Tour | 16 December 2020 | Virtual Event

Tech Tour XR Venture Forum 2020 will take place online under the banner of the XR4ALL project initiative funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme. This is an event organised by Tech Tour with the goal to encourage innovation and technological advancement in the field of immersive interactive technologies & services, such as VR, AR, MR, XR, 3D/depth, 3D sound, etc.

Tech Tour XR brings together entrepreneurs, investors (individual, corporate, business angel, or VC), corporates, & other stakeholders interested in immersive-technology products & services. The forum will select up to 30 entrepreneurs that have a relevant project with sufficient maturity and seek an additional 0.5 to 2 million € funding to reach the market. The selected entrepreneurs will have the chance to pitch their project to a jury made up of top selected investors, corporates, and other stakeholders, and these get a chance to invest in young companies likely to become the next multi-million €/$ market leaders in the booming area of immersive technologies.

The Highlights of the Tech Tour XR Tech Venture Forum this year will include:
• Partnering opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and corporations;
• Highly-specialized, structured business presentations with direct feedback from experts;
