AXE4 project aims to generate new services and tools for extended reality (XR) startups and companies in the Uusimaa region to help them to revive from the Covid-19 crisis and to develop their business.

The services will be developed together with companies and organizations in the field to ensure that all needs are taken into account. The companies will be able to use the services according to their own needs.

During the project, procedures for systematic growth and its support services will be developed. The services will be piloted first, after which the solutions will be open for all companies. To ensure the continuity of services after the project, they will be integrated into the services of Helsinki XR Center.

The project is partly funded by EU-React as part of the European Union’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
