This past week some of my fellow Identifiers in Italian Innovation visited Esimple, a technology-focused company that specializes in virtual and augmented reality. They sat down with Francesco Marcantoni, one of the founders of Esimple, to learn more about what innovation looks like at Esimple.

Our Interview with Francesco Marcantoni and Esimple associate

At Esimple success in innovation is the product of a collective effort—where collaboration, shared vision, and support play critical roles. Esimple’s journey in the virtual reality industry exemplifies this idea, showcasing how a strong sense of community fosters innovation and resilience.

One of the defining aspects of Esimple’s work in innovation is the collaborative spirit that fuels their projects. 

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the people who believed in our vision and helped bring it to life.”

This sentiment underscores the essential role of teamwork, where different minds contribute their expertise, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

The development of virtual reality technology demands interdisciplinary cooperation. From designers and engineers to business strategists, each person brings a unique perspective that enriches the creative process. 

“Every breakthrough we’ve had started with an idea that was shaped and strengthened by those around us.”

This demonstrates how collective intelligence enhances problem-solving and innovation.

Beyond technical collaboration, the strength of a community lies in the support it offers. Mentorship and peer guidance have been instrumental in Esimple’s progress. 

“It’s not just about working together; it’s about lifting each other up when things get tough.” 

This illustrates the importance of encouragement and knowledge-sharing in an industry that is constantly evolving.

Beyond internal collaboration, Esimple has also built relationships with external partners, working closely with clients, academic institutions, and industry leaders. This cooperative ecosystem fosters not only technical growth but also a deeper understanding of consumer needs and emerging trends. By engaging in open dialogue with their extended network, Esimple are able to ensure that their solutions remain relevant and impactful in the ever-changing landscape. 

“Some of our best ideas have come from discussions outside our immediate team” 

“We thrive because we are part of something bigger—a network of creators, dreamers, and doers who inspire each other.” 

This is important because it highlights the importance of community not only among the company of Esimple but of the entire community of innovators and creative who all have the same goal: creating something that is best for the people. This ideal prospers growth in the entire community of innovators and especially at Esimple.

This sense of belonging extends beyond professional development—it also plays a role in maintaining motivation and resilience. The challenges of virtual reality development, including rapid technological shifts and evolving market demands, can be daunting. However, Esimple has found strength in their support network. Whether it’s through informal brainstorming sessions, industry events, or collaborative problem-solving, the company benefits from a web of connections that keep them adaptable and forward-thinking. 

“Whenever we hit a roadblock, there’s always someone in our network who can help us navigate it” 

Looking ahead, Esimple recognizes that community will continue to be a driving force behind virtual reality expansion.

“Technology evolves, but it’s the people behind it who truly make the difference” 

This reflects a very important approach that Esimple takes where real human connection remains at the heart of technological advancements.

As virtual reality technologies become more integrated into everyday life, the role of community will only grow stronger, in the eyes of Esimple. The future of the industry will be shaped by collaborative efforts between businesses, researchers, and users, ensuring that virtual reality applications remain innovative and accessible. Esimple is committed to being at the forefront of this movement, leveraging their community to drive meaningful progress. 

“The more we engage with others, the better our solutions become” 

Exemplifying their dedication to the necessity for community and collaboration. 

Furthermore, Esimple’s experiences highlight the importance of mentorship in cultivating the next generation. By offering training programs, knowledge-sharing initiatives, and internship opportunities, they contribute to the development of a diverse and skilled workforce. Their belief in fostering a learning-oriented community ensures that virtual reality technologies continue to evolve with fresh perspectives and ideas. 

“We want to give back to the industry that has given us so much” 

The innovations of Esimple serve as a testament to the power of community. Their success is built not merely on the groundbreaking technology but on the relationships and collaborations that sustain it. As Esimple moves forward, it is clear that their strongest innovations will continue to emerge from spaces where ideas are shared, talents are nurtured, and people are supported by one another. Through collaboration, mentorship, and an unwavering commitment to inclusivity, Esimple is paving the way for a more connected and innovative future.
