We are proud to announce the launch of Vive X, a global accelerator program targeted at start-ups operating in the virtual reality space.

With a 100 million dollar investment fund led by HTC, the program is designed to help cultivate, foster and grow the global VR ecosystem by supporting start-ups and providing them with expertise, special access to advanced VR technology, financial investment, mentorship and unmatched go-to-market support which will ultimately help to build them into valuable content producers or content enablers for the Vive platform.

Starting in Beijing, Taipei and San Francisco, with aspirations to roll out across other global hubs in the near future, Vive X offers start-ups the opportunity to be based in one of those cities for an initial growth period. During this period they will have access to funding, leading VR know-how, hands-on coaching, and office space. They will also be invited to demo days, where leading investors will be in attendance, and to HTC’s offices for intensive training with our first-party development studios and to meet key members of the Vive engineering and management teams.

“We are very excited about gathering the brightest and the most creative minds to join Vive X. Virtual reality is changing the world, yet to do that effectively it needs a healthy eco-system to expand into the mass market. Through HTC Vive, we look forward to enabling global talent to create interesting and compelling content and to help shape the future of this industry,” said Cher Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of HTC.
