CROSSTECHXPERIENCE

The Cross-Border Ecosystem for Immersive, Interactive, and Gaming Technologies

The CrossTechXperience (CTX) project is a cross-border initiative aimed at creating a dynamic ecosystem around immersive, interactive, and gaming technologies in the regions of Northern France, Wallonia, and West Flanders.

Supported by the Interreg France-Wallonia-Flanders European Territorial Cooperation Program, CTX seeks to strengthen innovation, SME competitiveness, and job creation through cross-sectoral and cross-border collaboration.

The CTX project aims to develop a strong network between local businesses, both creative and traditional, research centers, universities, incubators, and entertainment venues, including those in the music and creative industries. With recent tax incentives and a shared commitment to progress, CTX is poised to transform the region into a hub for technological innovation.

Objectives:

• Innovation and Collaboration: Build an ecosystem where local businesses can adopt and integrate immersive, interactive, and gaming technologies.
• Talent Retention: Create a stimulating environment to retain locally trained talent.
