Eirmersive has a strong focus on the skills side of our sector. An important element of that is promoting and supporting the adoption of immersive technologies across the broad spectrum of education. As such we were truly honoured to have the opportunity in 2024 to convene a group of visionary educators drawn from every level of education in Ireland, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and further education as well as representatives from the private sector.

We would like to thank the members of the Working Group who all gave so generously of their time. We’d like to acknowledge the support of Meta without whom this body of work would not have been possible. And we’d like to express our sincere gratitude to the Minister of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science - Patrick O'Donovan, TD - for kindly, and enthusiastically receiving the report.

The Irish Immersive Technology Strategy for Growth report was prepared with input from stakeholders across the Irish domestic ecosystem, including industry, government, large enterprise, SMEs, research, and education. It provides a strategy to support the further development of the Irish immersive technology sector.

The ‘Onward’ event series was designed by Eirmersive to feature the leading thinkers, companies and product demonstrations from the world of Augmented and Virtual Reality, while aiming to bring industry together to network, share cross-sector knowledge and to learn more about the value and impact of immersive technologies in the enterprise and creative sectors.

The Irish Immersive Economy report showed that the Irish immersive technology sector was worth over €43 million, with significant potential for future growth as 63% of businesses in the sector expected to grow in the years ahead..
