IRVINE, CA — April 30, 2025 — EON Reality, the global leader in augmented and virtual reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, today unveiled its AI² Academies platform, offering a transformative partnership approach that guides educational institutions through complete AI-powered reinvention for the knowledge economy.

Why It Matters

Educational institutions worldwide face existential challenges from technological disruption, funding pressures, and evolving workforce demands:

• Transformation Imperative: Institutions must fundamentally reinvent themselves for the AI era or risk obsolescence and declining relevance
• Resource Constraints: Most lack the technical expertise, financial resources, and change management capabilities to transform independently
• Value Chain Disconnection: Traditional education remains disconnected from economic outcomes, creating a critical relevance gap

EON’s partnership approach addresses these challenges by providing a complete transformation framework that reconnects education to economic opportunity.

What It Delivers

The AI² Academies platform goes beyond technology provision to offer a comprehensive institutional transformation partnership:

• Complete Learning-to-Earning Pathway: A unified ecosystem connecting education (AI Academy), career development (Career Compass), entrepreneurship (Entrepreneur Guide), and application development (Vibe Coder) into a seamless journey from knowledge to economic opportunity.
• True Transformation Partnership: Unlike typical vendors, EON Reality provides collaborative implementation, shared investment, and value-based compensation that aligns EON’s success directly with institutional outcomes.
• Risk Mitigation Framework: EON Reality absorbs significant technological risk, implementation complexity, and initial investment burden, enabling institutions to transform with minimal disruption to existing operations.
• Sustainable Revenue Model: The partnership creates new revenue streams, operational efficiencies, and expanded market reach that generates 300-500% revenue growth for partner institutions within 24 months.
• The “Third Way” Educational Model: A fundamentally new approach that transcends traditional tradeoffs between quality and accessibility, creating immersive, engaging experiences that can be delivered anywhere at a fraction of traditional costs.
• Virtual Access to $50 Billion Worth of Equipment: Students gain hands-on experience with sophisticated virtual laboratories and specialized equipment that would be financially impossible for most institutions to provide physically.

Transformation Journey Across Educational Sectors

The AI² Academies partnership model delivers customized transformation paths across the educational spectrum:

K-12 Education EON guides K-12 institutions through systematic transformation from traditional classrooms to immersive learning environments while preserving their educational mission and cultural values. The partnership helps schools develop future-ready curricula aligned with emerging workforce needs while creating sustainable financial models that reduce dependency on traditional funding sources.

Technical and Vocational Training for technical colleges, the transformation journey focuses on rapidly expanding program portfolios without capital investment, developing industry-aligned credentials with enhanced employment outcomes, and creating sustainable growth models despite demographic challenges. The partnership helps these institutions become regional workforce development hubs with unprecedented economic impact.

Higher Education Universities partner with EON to fundamentally reinvent their educational delivery model, extend their global reach without physical expansion, and create sustainable financial frameworks despite enrollment challenges. The transformation preserves institutional academic integrity and brand value while creating new capabilities that dramatically enhance graduate outcomes and institutional relevance.

Incubators and Entrepreneurship Programs The partnership enables incubators to dramatically improve venture success rates, expand their program scale without proportional resource increases, and create sustainable revenue models tied directly to venture outcomes. The transformation creates unprecedented capabilities for virtual mentorship, market validation, and accelerated venture development.

Partnership Versus Traditional Vendor Model

“Today’s educational institutions don’t need another technology vendor—they need a transformation partner with the vision, capabilities, and commitment to guide them through fundamental reinvention,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman  at EON Reality. “Our AI² Academies partnership model represents our commitment to not just providing technology, but sharing the journey and the risks as institutions transform themselves for the AI era.”
