This gap needs to be addressed or it might hurt development of this young market, warns BOM Business Developer Coen Sanderink, who led the survey.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the survey, 50% of the developers whose firms will require more financing in the future said they would need another round of more than €1 million. In order to raise this level of investment, companies typically need to have the ambition to achieve at least €10 million in revenue within five years. However, the average developer in the survey expects his firm to generate “only” €1.3 million. This gap is a potential barrier to the further development of the industry as it might limit the ability of developers to raise growth capital, according to Sanderink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the financials are not compelling enough, developers will have to show other reasons why investors should invest in them. Investors will be looking for potential market leaders with focus and strong client relationships because it allows them to create additional revenue models and value,” said Sanderink. “That’s why developers should outline realistic strategies to build a significant position or become a leader in a specific market segment such as training for offshore oil workers or active eSports.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Hype or Serious Business?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cbr>BOM conducted its survey for the first time in 2016 to examine whether VR\u002FAR is an exaggerated hype or a business with real potential. In the second edition of “Hype or Serious Business?”, BOM surveyed 613 developers and users of VR\u002FAR technology in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany on a range of issues including budgets, revenue forecasts and financing needs. The survey shows that developers as well as users define “unfamiliarity with the possibilities” and an “insufficient business case” as the main barriers to mass adoption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s always hard to predict how a new technology will be applied in your industry, which holds particularly true in this case. VR\u002FAR involves a virtual world. You need to experience it before you can understand its potential,” Sanderink said. “VR\u002FAR is here to stay and we see strong signs in our research that it will be serious business in 5 to 10 years. A key conclusion is that now is the time for potential users to start experimenting and explore their role in this rapidly evolving space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOM has created a compact e-zine http:\u002F\u002Fbit.ly\u002F2pqA3ul to share the report’s most important observations and conclusions. This e-zine also offers a download link to the full 34-page 2017 report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>About BOM\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOM is an economic development agency committed to supporting the continued growth of companies in the Dutch Brabant region.
