The LEAPXR project (Linking Education and Applied Practice for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in eXtended Reality) aims to position applied European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as engines of innovation, tackling pressing challenges in healthcare and fostering regional and global economic growth. By harnessing the transformative potential of Extended Reality (XR) technologies, the project addresses critical societal needs such as aging populations, healthcare disparities, and regional innovation gaps, while fostering inclusivity and advancing gender equity in tech-driven entrepreneurship.
