Introducing EUorigin: Discover Europe’s Most Inspiring Business Success Stories in Spatial Reality
Float above Europe and explore the continent’s innovation landscape like never before
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of EUorigin, a groundbreaking Vision Pro app that transforms how you discover and experience European business success stories. Imagine floating above a stunning 3D map of Europe, where each glowing pin represents an incredible journey of innovation, determination, and cross-border success. Welcome to a new way of exploring entrepreneurship.
A New Dimension to Business Storytelling
EUorigin isn’t just another business app—it’s an immersive journey through Europe’s entrepreneurial landscape. Using the revolutionary spatial computing capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, we’ve created an experience where business stories come alive around you. No more scrolling through endless articles or watching flat videos. With EUorigin, you’re transported directly into the heart of European innovation.
How It Works: Your Personal Tour of European Success
When you first open EUorigin, you’ll find yourself hovering above a beautifully rendered map of Europe. Scattered across the continent are interactive pins, each marking the birthplace of a remarkable company that started local and went global.
Simply look at a pin and tap to activate its story. Suddenly, the company’s journey unfolds in the space around you—timelines float past showing key milestones, 3D charts materialize to illustrate growth, and immersive visuals transport you to the company’s origins. It’s like having a personal documentary that plays out in your living room.
31 Featured Success Stories at Launch
We’re launching with 31 carefully curated stories that showcase the diversity and dynamism of European entrepreneurship like:
🇫🇷 Mistral AI (France)
Watch as this AI powerhouse’s story unfolds from a Parisian startup to a major player challenging Silicon Valley giants. Experience their rapid expansion across Europe through animated connection lines that light up the continent.
🇫🇮 Supercell (Finland)
Step into the world of mobile gaming excellence, where a small Helsinki team created global phenomena like Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars, generating billions in revenue.
🇩🇪 DeepL (Germany)
Experience the breaking down of language barriers as this Cologne-based company’s superior translation technology spreads across the globe.
🇫🇷 BlaBlaCar (France)
Journey alongside millions of travelers as you explore how this ride-sharing platform connected communities across 22 countries, transforming European travel culture.
Features That Make EUorigin Special
Cross-Border Translation Deep Dives
This is where EUorigin truly shines. For each success story, you can activate a special “Expansion Journey” mode that reveals the nitty-gritty of how these companies conquered new markets. Watch as floating cards detail the specific challenges they faced entering each country—from adapting to German regulatory requirements to winning over French consumers.
See how BlaBlaCar had to completely reimagine their marketing when expanding from France to Poland, where hitchhiking culture was vastly different. Discover how DeepL leveraged Switzerland’s multilingual population as a testing ground before tackling monolingual markets. Learn how Supercell’s games needed different monetization strategies in Southern versus Northern Europe. These aren’t just success stories—they’re blueprints for cross-border expansion.
Cultural Challenge Visualizations
Floating around each company’s story are “challenge bubbles” that you can grab and explore. Each one breaks down a specific obstacle: How did a Swedish company like Lovable.dev build trust with European enterprises? How did Mistral AI navigate different AI regulations across member states? On the other hand these interactive elements can also show you exactly when language barriers nearly killed deals, which cultural misunderstandings led to product pivots, and what policy hurdles required creative solutions.
Immersive Timeline Visualization
Each company’s growth story unfolds through a three-dimensional timeline that surrounds you. Watch as key events, funding rounds, and expansion milestones float past, giving you a true sense of the company’s evolution over time. Special markers highlight critical adaptation moments—when companies had to fundamentally change their approach to succeed in new markets.
Interactive Data Displays
Financial metrics, user growth, and market expansion aren’t just numbers on a screen—they’re dynamic 3D visualizations that respond to your gaze and gestures. Grab a chart and rotate it to see different perspectives, or expand it for deeper insights. Compare revenue growth before and after major localization efforts to understand the real impact of cultural adaptation.
Spatial Audio Narration
Optional narration guides you through each story with spatial audio that makes you feel like you’re in a personal presentation. The sound moves naturally as you explore different aspects of the story. Choose to hear about public written founder interviews discussing their biggest cross-border challenges, or switch to expert analysis on market entry strategies.
Connection Mapping
See how companies expanded across borders with animated connection lines that light up the map, showing the flow of innovation from one country to another. But these aren’t just simple lines—tap on any connection to reveal the story behind it: the three failed attempts before success in Italy, the local partnership that unlocked the Spanish market, or the single product feature change that made all the difference in Denmark.
Personalized Discovery
The app learns your interests over time, suggesting stories based on the industries, countries, or business strategies you find most compelling. Love learning about overcoming language barriers? The app will guide you to the most dramatic localization transformations.
Why We Built EUorigin
Europe’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is thriving, yet many of these incredible success stories remain unknown to the broader public. We wanted to change that. But more importantly, we wanted to reveal the how behind these successes.
The European Union offers unprecedented opportunity for businesses to scale across 27 member states and 450 million consumers. Yet each border crossed represents a complex puzzle of cultural adaptation, regulatory compliance, and market understanding. How does a Finnish gaming company design for Italian players? How does a French ride-sharing platform build trust in countries with completely different transportation cultures? These are the real stories behind European success.
By combining the power of spatial computing with compelling storytelling, EUorigin doesn’t just celebrate success—it decodes it. Every expansion challenge, every cultural adaptation, every policy hurdle overcome becomes a lesson floating in your living room. This isn’t just inspiration; it’s education through immersion.
Perfect for Every Curious Mind
You don’t need to be a business expert to enjoy EUorigin. The app is designed for anyone who:
- Loves discovering inspiring success stories

- Wants to understand European business culture and its unique challenges
- Enjoys immersive, educational experiences
- Seeks motivation for their own entrepreneurial journey
- Wonders how companies navigate cultural and language differences
- Is interested in the real challenges of international expansion
- And everyone else…
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur planning your own cross-border expansion, a student studying international business, or simply someone fascinated by how local ideas become continental successes despite countless obstacles, EUorigin offers unprecedented insights into the reality of building a pan-European business.
