VisioPlan takes off: EXIST funding for AI-supported VR innovation
Hamburg, 29 July 2025
The Hamburg-based start-up VisioPlan has been selected for the EXIST funding phase II – a milestone on the road to scaling its innovative VR technology.
VisioPlan develops immersive virtual reality software that allows users to experience buildings realistically even before they are built. In the second EXIST phase, the focus is now on integrating artificial intelligence: the aim is to significantly speed up the previous, complex production process and take automation to a new level – from texturing to the provision of high-quality 3D models.
In the future, users will even be able to virtually furnish entire houses using voice commands – individually and intuitively. VisioPlan's AI already converts spoken feedback from builders directly into structured planning notes that appear in the planning team's web app. AI is also used for image processing: screenshots from the VR environment are automatically developed into impressive renderings – efficiently and cost-effectively.
The EXIST programme is funding the project with €240,000 over 12 months, supporting not only the expansion of the technology but also its transfer into practice.
VisioPlan is currently receiving advice from the start-up centre at Hamburg University of Technology Startup Port @TUHH – proof of the close links between science, applied research and entrepreneurship. In addition, AI.STARTUP.HUB is supporting the team in its further development.
With the tailwind provided by the funding, VisioPlan is ready for the next leap – and is impressively demonstrating how the future is built before it begins.
