FourPoint & AIXR announce a new partnership

The AR/VR industry is set to benefit from a newly signed “Memorandum of understanding” between XR pioneers AIXR and FourPointZero. The aim is to increase awareness and drive collaborations in the sector.

The two parties have long sought to address
the severe skills gap that exists within the immersive technology space. This
includes attracting individuals to the sector with the necessary disciplinary
talent that XR positions require and making sure Academy members can achieve
their strategic objectives by accessing this talent.

FourPointZero is an XR recruitment specialist. They work with SMEs and high-growth start-ups to globally recognised companies across the UK, Europe, and further afield. They have a proven track record of completing multi-level assignments. And pride themselves on their in-depth knowledge of the XR sector.

FourPointZero will work together with The Academy of International Extended Reality, led by their XR Steering Panels. Their remit is to advance immersive technology by removing barriers and connecting their diverse global membership base together..

Martyn Makinson, CEO at FourPointZero, said: “This is a pivotal time for the XR industry. It’s forecasted to grow exponentially, bringing its own challenges of accessing and attracting existing talent while also enticing new individuals to the industry. The strategic partnership we have forged with AIXR will address these challenges. We are looking forward to working with AIXR to play a part in the long-term success of the XR industry.

Daniel Colaianni, CEO at AIXR, said: “We are really excited to have signed this Memorandum of Understanding; connecting people together is at the heart of what we do, and we are always open to collaboration when goals align. Our members often struggle to find the necessary talent. And this agreement will give them access to the best talent and allow them to focus on what they excel at: creating compelling XR content, forging the future of the industry, and more.”
