Core offering

VR Business Club operates a dialogue and matchmaking platform that connects German Mittelstand companies, large enterprises, institutions, and media houses with technology experts in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Metaverse, and Artificial Intelligence. Through a hybrid model combining in-person events across seven German cities, online formats, and Social VR spaces, the club enables members to identify suitable XR/AI solution providers, test use cases, and launch technology projects. Revenue is generated primarily through annual membership fees that provide access to events, workshops, trade show discounts, and preferential hardware pricing.
