About ARISE
Picture a world where medical students can practice intricate surgeries in fully immersive simulations, where history lessons come alive through interactive experiences, and where first responders train using hyper-realistic scenarios designed to sharpen their decision-making skills and improve public safety.
Now, imagine building the technologies to make this all possible.
Extended Reality (XR) is set to create a significant number of jobs across Europe, with projections estimating up to 860,000 direct jobs and over 1.2 million total jobs by 2025. This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of XR in key sectors like aerospace, healthcare, education, and manufacturing. These technologies enable innovations such as virtual prototyping, immersive training, AR-assisted surgeries, and real-time production guidance—positioning XR as a key force in Europe’s digital and industrial transformation.
