About

Strategy grounded in research. Built by someone who builds.

VR-AI Academy is the advisory arm of a wider body of work — three companies, three Routledge books, and a decade at the intersection of AI and human learning.

Why we exist

Most organisations adopting AI for learning are sold tools, not strategy. The market is full of vendors and short on advisors who can say which problem to solve first, what to build, and what to ignore.

VR-AI Academy fills that gap. We don't sell tools. We design transformations.

"We don't sell tools. We design transformations."

Matteo studied at ESE Business School and Università Roma Tre, and completed his Fulbright BEST programme in the United States, with a Communications Fellowship at StartX, the Stanford-affiliated accelerator.

He founded VR-AI Academy, VRAINERS, and VoxCoach AI to address how organisations adopt AI and immersive technology for professional learning — from strategy through to deployed tools.
