The European Market for Immersive Creativity (EMIC) is a one-of-a-kind platform, dedicated to fostering collaboration among creative minds, researchers, academics, audiovisual professionals, and start-up innovators. What sets EMIC apart is its commitment to nurturing creativity, innovation, and partnerships across a range of industries—from the audiovisual sector to museums, regional governments, the tech industry, and beyond. EMIC celebrates the diverse arts and cultures that are shaping both today’s world and the one of tomorrow.
Networking and innovation are the key words of EMIC and STEREOPSIA which include, pitches of projects as well as XR start-ups, one-to-one meetings, networking sessions, conferences and panels, a European XR Investment Forum, Exhibition area, social events…
You will have the opportunity to network with creators, producers, studios, financiers, distributors, broadcasters and XR platforms, exhibitors, museums, XR entrepreneurs in a relaxed and efficient atmosphere in the center of Brussels, the capital of Europe.
Stereopsia has always emphasized the valuable intersections between creative expression and technological innovation. For fifteen years, we’ve brought together professionals from traditionally separate realms—the audiovisual world and science and technology. It’s no coincidence that this year, the CREATIVE EUROPE MEDIA program has chosen to support Stereopsia and EMIC, recognizing the significance of these collaborations in driving the XR industry forward.
