IRVINE, CA – October 23, 2026 – EON Reality, a global leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extended Reality (XR)-based learning solutions, highlights its strategic collaboration with SkillsTrain Distribution, a South African provider of specialized training technologies and educational resources. Established in 2024, the relationship brings together EON Reality’s immersive learning solutions and SkillsTrain’s regional expertise to expand access to innovative education and workforce training across Southern Africa.
As educational institutions and industries across Southern Africa face growing demand for accessible, practical, and industry-relevant training, EON Reality and SkillsTrain are combining their expertise to address these needs. By bringing together EON Reality’s AI-powered XR learning solutions and SkillsTrain’s regional knowledge and experience in specialized training resources, the collaboration aims to bridge the gap between theoretical education and real-world skills, providing more engaging, scalable, and effective learning opportunities for educational institutions, vocational training providers, and industries.
The collaboration targets schools, colleges, universities, vocational training centers, and businesses, particularly in sectors such as healthcare, emergency services, workplace safety, and technical education.
An early example of their cooperation was the Good Work Foundation initiative announced in August 2024, which introduced immersive learning opportunities for young people in rural South African communities.
Through EON Reality’s AI-powered XR platform and SkillsTrain’s regional distribution and support capabilities, the collaboration enables institutions to explore interactive 3D learning, virtual simulations, and practical skills training without relying exclusively on physical equipment or traditional classrooms.
The goal is to make experiential learning more accessible, engaging, and adaptable to different training needs.
EON Reality and SkillsTrain began working together in 2024, creating a foundation for expanding the adoption of immersive training technologies. They will continue exploring opportunities to bring immersive learning technologies to educational institutions and industries
