EON Reality, the world leader in AI-assisted Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, is pleased to announce its expansion plan in Latin America through a strategic alliance that has given rise to EON LAC. EON LAC will ensure EON Reality’s local expansion in key LATAM countries, driving the implementation of EON Reality’s transformative XR platforms across the region, enhancing educational accessibility and engagement.
This strategic alliance will facilitate the integration of EON Reality’s cutting-edge technology solutions into educational institutions throughout the Latin American region, offering unprecedented opportunities for immersive learning. By implementing EON’s XR solutions, learners from diverse backgrounds will gain access to innovative tools that will empower them with skills essential for success in the digital economy.
Juan Carlos Lopez G, CEO of EON LAC, stated: “Our inception as a spin-off of EON Reality is not just a union of technologies; it’s a shared vision of transforming education in Latin America. By harnessing the power of XR, we aim to create a learning ecosystem that not only meets but anticipates the demands of the future, preparing our students for the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
“The creation of EON LAC represents a major step forward in our mission to democratize knowledge through immersive learning. With their regional expertise, we are positioned to fundamentally transform educational methodologies across Latin America,” added Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “Together, we will provide learners with the necessary tools to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.”
EON LAC emerges as a revolutionary opportunity for a territory that includes over 170 million students across all educational levels in Latin America and the Caribbean. In the coming years, hybrid learning is expected to become firmly established in the region, with virtually all secondary schools integrating online components by 2025, and universities offering more flexible learning pathways.
Lifelong learning will be a major theme: with technological change, countries are promoting adult upskilling and reskilling programs, many delivered via digital platforms. In fact, workforce-oriented education is the fastest-growing segment of EdTech in the region. Projections suggest the Latin American EdTech market will expand at approximately 14% annually, reaching about $22 billion by 2030 in value.
By 2030 and beyond, Latin America aims to have a more inclusive, high-quality education system that can compete globally. The “business as usual” scenario is insufficient, so stakeholders are pushing bold initiatives to close equity gaps and accelerate learning, ensuring that Latin American youth are prepared for the challenges of the future.
