CrossTechXperience

The CrossTechXperience (CTX) project is a cross-border initiative that aims to create a dynamic ecosystem around immersive, interactive and gaming technologies in the regions of northern France, Wallonia and West Flanders.

The cross-border ecosystem of immersive, interactive and gaming technologies

Supported by the European territorial cooperation program Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen, CTX aims 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 set to transform the region into a hub of technological innovation.
