This survey aims to gather information about the creative and cultural XR communities of the Baltic Region, including: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. This survey is informed by one-to-one interviews conducted by XR4Europe with various stakeholders from the region to document the distribution of skills, needs, and resources. The current survey aims to gather data from directors, creators, producers, distributors, exhibitors, and funders of immersive projects.
A broader objective is to establish a reliable regional evidence base that can inform future European-level research, funding initiatives, and policy discussions.
Outputs
XR4Europe will present preliminary results at regional events in October (Embodied Realms XR Festival, Poznań, Poland) and November (Nordic Film Days, Lübeck, Germany), culminating in a final report presented in December at the UnitedXR Europe event (Brussels, Belgium) and published online.
Data collection methodology
This survey does not collect personal information and utilises Tally, a Belgium-based platform, for survey data collection and hosting. Any business-related data provided, such as the number of employees, projects, and revenue range, will be aggregated and anonymised to ensure confidentiality. We ask companies to share their names and logos so that they may be included in a European landscape database that will be created at the end of this research. The final date for survey submissions is 27 September 2026.
Data Retention Policy
We will retain the survey data for five years from the date of collection. This period allows us to conduct comprehensive analyses and follow-up studies on the XR ecosystem in Europe, ensuring that the insights remain relevant and up-to-date. After this period, all identifiable data will be securely deleted.
Purpose and Use of Data
The purpose of this research and survey is to map and analyse the commercial and non-commercial XR ecosystem in Europe. By gathering data on aspects such as location, size, growth trajectory, and sources of projects and funding, we aim to provide insights into the dynamics of the XR industry in Europe.
XR4Europe is conducting this research and will not share the raw survey data with third parties. XR4Europe may engage external researchers to assist in analysing and preparing the final report, which we plan to present publicly on our website by the end of the year. Insights and anonymised aggregate data may be shared with related industry research undertaken by other XR associations and institutions.
Data Rights
XR4Europe, as the data controller, ensures that organisations submitting the data have the right to update and erase their data in the survey at any time by contacting XR4Europe via email.
