From 19 to 21 November, we were in Paris participating in a new edition of Educ@tech Expo, one of France’s leading events for educational innovation and the digital transformation of learning. This year, the theme was clear: “Combining intelligences”, connecting human, collective, territorial and artificial intelligence to address the educational challenges of the present.
We were at the fair together with our distributor Augmentalix, presenting our Virtual Reality solutions for vocational and technical training. During the three days of the event, we welcomed teachers, school principals, public institutions and other stakeholders in the education sector, who were able to try out our immersive simulators and talk to our team about their applications in education and professional training.
These solutions allow technical procedures to be carried out as if in a real environment, tasks to be performed without risk, learning to be more attractive and motivating, measurable professional skills to be acquired, and students to be trained for current work scenarios. Throughout the fair, visitors were able to immerse themselves in simulations of industrial maintenance, safe operation of machinery, specific procedures, risk prevention, electrical installations, and practical cases from the tourism and hospitality sector, among others.
Our participation in Educ@tech reaffirms several of our convictions: Virtual Reality is no longer perceived as a futuristic promise, but as a mature and necessary training tool to face the educational challenges of the present. In addition, we observed that centres are looking for practical, ready-to-use solutions, moving away from complex and experimental processes, coupled with the growing importance of generating a real impact on students’ skills, beyond technological novelty. All of this reinforces the idea that VR has become a key driver of educational competitiveness in Europe.
Following our visit to Paris, we continue to strengthen our presence in France through Augmentalix, accompanying educational centres in their evolution towards more immersive, connected vocational training that is aligned with the real needs of the labour market.
Whether you were at Educ@tech and want to continue the conversation, or you were unable to attend but are interested in learning more, we would be delighted to show you our simulators and demonstrate how they can transform the training experience at your centre.
