INSEAD, The Business School for the World, announced today that the school has secured a shareholding in AVRIS, the world’s leading Extended Reality (XR) platform for business training. This partnership marks a new chapter in INSEAD’s long legacy of being at the forefront of innovation in management education, supporting the school’s priority in offering transformative learning experiences.
INSEAD’s collaboration with AVRIS began in 2020, when the school launched the Immersive Learning Initiative, a global centre of excellence, on its Middle East Campus in Abu Dhabi. The initiative, which sits in the school’s Research & Innovation Department, aims to increase the impact of management education and advance academic research using XR and AI technologies, benefiting from INSEAD’s academic excellence combined with AVRIS’ media and technology capabilities.
Working with AVRIS, INSEAD has created INSEAD XR, a comprehensive, scalable, cost-effective and user-friendly XR-based solution. With more than 25 VR experiences to date, INSEAD XR boasts the world’s largest library of VR experiences for management education. More than 40 INSEAD faculty have either used or are developing VR experiences and more than 20,000 learners globally have benefitted from it. Today, ten institutions around the world have adopted the INSEAD XR solution.
Lily Fang, Dean of Research & Innovation, said, “This is an important milestone as we continue to push the boundaries of learning and innovation through rigorous and relevant content, delivered in innovative formats. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in this partnership and look forward to what we will achieve in the future.”
Daniel Landau, CEO of AVRIS, said: “AVRIS is thrilled to deepen our collaboration with INSEAD faculty and the INSEAD XR team, working together to build a comprehensive Immersive-AI Learning Platform that combines academic rigour with innovative learning and research methodologies. This partnership is driving the future of management education, pushing the boundaries of how leadership and executive development are taught in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape."
