WELCOME TO THE NETHERLANDS CHAPTER OF THE GLOBAL ASSOCIATION FOR VR AND AR
Right after London and Berlin, Amsterdam has become the place to be for startups and tech talent. Home to large corporates like Booking.com, European HQ of Uber and Netflix, unicorns such as Adyen, as well as numerous innovative startups and accelerators, Amsterdam combines innovation, creativity, inspiration, cultural heritage and fun! Amsterdam benefits from an impressive digital infrastructure, with platforms like the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), one of the world’s largest data transport hubs. And finally, Amsterdam is a very pleasant place to live and keeps on attracting people from all over the world.
These tremendous assets make Amsterdam a very exciting place for the VR & AR world. It is home to one of the first VR cinemas, AR pioneer Layar or virtual home visits for real-estate agency Funda.
The VR/AR Association is a great opportunity to engage with VR / AR professionals, share your vision and build a more innovative ecosystem for the Amsterdam community!

I discovered my passion for XR while I was in Dublin. Here Joel De La Fuente and I started the Irish Chapter for VRARA.
