YDreams Global Joins Dreams2B and BC Tech’s THE CUBE to Create Acceleration Program for Startups

YDreams Global Interactive Technologies (TSXV:YD) would like to announce that the Company has started a new partnership with the goal to select and train promising Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities startups from Brazil to develop and explore the Canadian market.

The XR Canada International Acceleration Program is the first of its kind to give access to Brazilian startups from the VR, AR and MR segment. Developed by YDreams Global and Dream2B in partnership with THE Cube, from BC Tech, the program will last four weeks and will take place in Vancouver.

Up to eight startups in GROWTH stage will be selected to participate in workshops, mentorships and meet entrepreneurs from Canada and Brazil. They will also attend B2B meetings with potential partners and clients, speed dating with investors and high level networking.

The cost of the program and the trip will be covered by a private fund, allowing startups to participate in this unique experience. Selected startups will be invited to attend the BC Tech Summit.

“It is great to see that YDreams Global experience can be useful to other startups. It also puts us in a strategic position to have access to startups with great products and have the opportunity to get involved at an early stage. This can help us with other initiatives we already have, such as Arkave VR, as well as opening new verticals for the Company that could be significant in the near future. It also strengthens our relationship with important entities from British Columbia,” stated Daniel Japiassu, CEO of YDreams Global.

The initiative has the support of significant entities such as the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce, the Brazilian Consulate in Vancouver, the government of British Columbia, BC Tech and the VRAR Association of Vancouver, to mention a few.

President of the VRARA Vancouver, Dan Burgar says about the initiative: “We’re very supportive of initiatives like this one that will encourage the continued growth of BC’s VR/AR sector. As the industry develops we’re going to need to fill jobs and looking outward for international talent is great way to meet this demand. I’ve met many skilled developers and creators from Brazil and would welcome the opportunity to work more closely with them to strengthen BC’s VR/AR industry.”

The program was brought to the Company by Marcos Alves, responsible for the Ventures Division of YDreams Global, he adds: “This program offers an unique opportunity to outstanding Brazilian XR startups to access a blooming ecosystem of clients, investors, partners and talents with the proper education to leverage them in their internationalization strategy, from Brazil, to Canada, to the world.”
