Netherlands - Arnhem, Gelderland,

Alex is a social entrepreneur and CEO with the mission to drive social good and improve lives through technology, with an exceptional passion for producing virtual reality, games, film & animation. Alex uniquely pioneered the VR industry—by utilizing its immersive power and game technology to create content dedicated to triggering empathy. This next-generation education, training, and therapy tool spark the mind by activating the same feelings a victim experiences, leading to compassion and, ultimately, to positive behavioral change. In the past years, Alex and his team have proven the innovation highly effective and valuable addition to existing methods—empowering people and organizations in creating a safer and more compassionate world.

Research conducted on Enliven’s VR domestic violence simulation has shown that 80% of participants (domestic violence offenders) manage to stop a threatening or already going fight with children around. The impact of the VR training visibly touched them and allowed them to understand better how the violence is hurting their child(ren). Enliven aims to reach more than a billion people by 2025—firmly believing that millions will live safely and happily when just one percent of them choose to change for the better.
