Company profile
researched Aug 2026XRBase is an Amsterdam-based extended-reality hub and creative agency that combines a coworking space with project work in virtual, augmented and mixed reality. It began in 2016 as a VR coworking space on the Marineterrein in Amsterdam, opened by the founder of VR Days Europe to serve the local VR community, and grew a network of developers, enthusiasts, schools and universities, describing itself as the largest VR hub in the Netherlands. Over time it broadened beyond VR into AR and MR and positioned itself as an agency linking research and development with commercial and public clients.
Following a strategy review accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, the organisation rebranded as The New Base, presented as a one-stop shop for frontier technology solutions. Its activities are organised around two strands: a coworking community and a studio/creative agency working with technologies including AR, VR and artificial intelligence, alongside in-house research and experimentation.
Founding story
The company was established in 2016 when its CEO, who had founded VR Days Europe, opened a VR coworking space at Marineterrein in Amsterdam in response to a perceived lack of dedicated space for the Dutch VR community.
Business model
The organisation combines memberships in its coworking space with client project work delivered through its studio and creative agency, applying VR, AR, MR and AI technologies for commercial and public-sector clients, supported by in-house research.
Latest developments
The company rebranded from XRBase to The New Base, repositioning as a one-stop shop for frontier technology solutions linking R&D with commercial and public clients.
