The Next XR Talent Program is the new addition to the talent program Playgrounds has been running since 2016. During this 10 month program (from May 2025 till early March 2026) we want to foster the talents’ development and help them connect actively to the Dutch Immersive and XR network, so that they will be ready to take their next steps with confidence after the talent program has ended.
