Impact Virtual OV & Empowerment
At Changefied, we believe in the power of inclusion and strive to ensure that everyone can participate fully in our society. We follow the fundamental principle of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Leave No One Behind. This means that we are committed to enabling everyone, regardless of background or disability, to participate in social and economic progress.
Our mission is to create high-quality gamification solutions within the social domain. Through innovative, accessible, and engaging learning experiences, we support people who could benefit from additional support, such as students and those who learn or function differently, to reach their full potential. We strengthen their self-confidence and skills so that they can participate actively and independently in daily life.
Our Virtual Reality learning platform Virtual Empowerment makes people with learning and development needs, such as autism and ADHD, more self-reliant in terms of mobility, social skills, and financial independence.
Our goal is to have empowered more than 250,000 people worldwide by 2030.
Virtual Public Transport plays a key role in increasing independence in using public transport, a crucial skill for broader social participation and self-management. This VR learning platform supports neurodivergent people, among others, in learning to travel by public transport, significantly improving their independence and mobility.
In addition, Changefied continuously develops new modules that are integrated into the Virtual Empowerment platform. This allows users to receive extra support in various areas of life, such as social skills and financial independence, to sustainably strengthen their self-reliance.

Our data-driven approach continuously measures the usage and impact of Virtual OV. Teachers experience the program as a valuable addition to citizenship education. They observe that approximately 60% of the students who are ready to make the transition to public transport actually start traveling independently sooner thanks to this training.
Independence in mobility means not only personal growth, but also societal gain – with lower transport costs and less dependence on care.

Our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals
Changefied actively contributes to the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through innovative VR and gamification solutions in the social domain. We promote inclusion, empowerment, and equal opportunities, with a special focus on people marginalized from society. By connecting our societal impact to relevant SDGs such as inclusion and equal opportunities, we strengthen our mission for a sustainable and just future.
SDG 3: Health and well-being
We contribute to a healthy and resilient society by promoting mental and physical well-being. With our Virtual Reality learning experiences, we reduce stress and increase self-confidence, which is essential for good health. In this way, we support people in developing the skills to participate in daily life in a healthy and active manner.
SDG 4: Quality Education
We provide inclusive and practice-oriented education with digital learning experiences that enhance self-reliance and social skills. This makes education more effective and accessible for neurodivergent and vulnerable groups, enabling them to participate fully in society.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
By supporting young people in independent travel and social skills, we increase their access to the labor market and educational opportunities. This promotes economic participation, self-reliance, and sustainable growth, with a direct impact on their independence.
SDG 10: Reduced Inequality
Our solutions focus on reducing social and mobility barriers for vulnerable and neurodivergent target groups. In doing so, we contribute to reducing inequalities and creating a more just and inclusive society.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
With our scalable VR solutions, we encourage reduced transport dependency and increase mobility and independence in urban environments. This contributes to sustainable, accessible, and livable cities for everyone.
This approach contributes to the fundamental principle of the SDG agenda: Leave No One Behind. Changefied ensures that everyone, regardless of background or disability, can participate in social and economic progress towards 2030.
