San Francisco, Calif., September 10, 2025—The SweetRush XR team celebrates a resounding grand slam with its fourth consecutive year on Training Industry’s list of Top Experiential Learning Technologies Companies.
Experiential learning technologies, which include a range of modalities such as virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), simulations, and serious games, can be leveraged to meet such diverse learning needs as medical, compliance, manufacturing, and soft skills training.
Training Industry uses the following criteria to evaluate its Top 20 Experiential Learning Technologies Companies:
Esteban Cascante, SweetRush Director of Production, Project Management, and XR, affirms the team’s commitment to recreating ‘learning by doing’ in a digital environment. He explains, “By powerfully combining modern game engines and AI, we build realistic simulations and games for VR headsets, web browsers and mobile devices. Our innovative spirit and ‘learning-first’ approach are what drive us to deliver measurable business value and empower learners to achieve their full potential.
This spirit of innovation is evident in the team’s embrace of leading-edge technologies such as generative AI (GenAI) and web-based extended reality (WebXR) to craft engaging, effective learning and skilling experiences for learners in a broad range of industries. Through the power of AI coaching, gamified branching simulations, and other experiential learning modalities, SweetRush is helping L&D leaders scale high-impact, high-value training to a wider audience than ever before.
