"It is all about speed nowadays. And co-creation is tremendously important. And therefore, we want to give, give, give and make sure, in fact, that communities are flourishing. And it is only then that we create prosperity. So that is why we are part of XR Valley." - Thierry Bruyneel (Delaware)
In this kick-off episode of the podcast, Desiree and Jelle talk with Thierry Bruyneel, Partner Venture by Delaware, and Nick Thienpondt, Delaware Department Manager and Microsoft Alliance Lead.
During our conversation, we discuss the importance of building a strong Belgian XR ecosystem and the delaware BeLux XR customer case: Antwerp Maritime Academy. Thierry and Nick share their thoughts on the role of XRValley.be in creating the Belgian XR ecosystem, demonstrate XR's potential, and the future of XR.
We also delve into the topic of how delaware BeLux successfully used XR to train students of the Antwerp Maritime Academy in getting familiar with the launching procedure of a lifeboat, e.g., on a chemical tanker. Because when necessary, the captain and crew must know the lifeboat procedures and have hands-on experience to get safely off the ship.
Overall, it is a fascinating conversation with delaware BeLux, a true Belgian XR industry leader. Tune in to hear Thierry's and Nick's insights on XR.
