Virtual Reality (VR) is booming worldwide ($160 billion in 2020). Within the NWE region, industry is concentrated in UK (frontrunner), France and Germany. In healthcare, specifically rehabilitation, VR is in its early days in terms of breakthrough treatment paradigms and widespread clinical adoption. To exploit the economic potential, VR4REHAB aims at enabling the co-creation of VR-based rehabilitation tools. By identifying and combining (1) SMEs, active in the field of VR, (2) research institutes and (3) clinics that specialize in interventions in the human musculoskeletal system, state-of-the-art VR-technology meets the rehabilitation potential and needs of patients and their therapists, thus optimizing rehabilitation protocols, accelerating recovery. By addressing this innovation potential, VR4REHAB provides access to a wide range of market opportunities for SMEs in the NWE-region and thereby strengthens the NWE’s position in this global market. When the project ends, collective events e.g. hackathons have activated 375 SMEs, involved 150 SMEs in co-creation of which 25 SMEs in new cooperations leading to 45 new jobs and 5 new pilots of VR-technology based rehabilitation tools accompanied by strategic recommendations for successful integration in rehab protocols. Additionally an open network for co-creation between SMEs, clinics and universities in the field of VR has been founded, accompanied by recommendations on successful approaches in co-creation. 5 years later the network has grown to 35 partners and acts as established initiator of innovations, by yearly supporting 5 collective events, activating at least 1500 SMEs, involving 500 SMEs in co-creation leading to 1200 new jobs and 27 VR-based tools. 10 years later, the expanding network has broadened its scope to adjacent therapeutic areas/ medical fields, creating 5275 new jobs due to the acceptance of 100 new VR-based rehabilitation tools, thus establishing NWE as a serious region in VR-innovations for health care.
