Coinciding with the nuclear summit in South Korea, the Dutch Embassy in Seoul together with the Gyeonggi Content Agency and the Korea Game Society organized a Serious Games Seminar focusing on Serious Games that are effectively applied for better training and preparation of safety professionals and emergency services.

As a pioneer nation in the development of Serious Games, The Netherlands host some of the world’s leading serious game developers. South Korea is a leading technology nation in the world, with an open mind towards applying technological innovations for real-life application.

As a leading developer of virtual incident management training, VSTEP was invited by the Dutch Embassy to demonstrate its RescueSim Virtual Incident Management Platform during the seminar. RescueSim is a virtual training platform that prepares emergency services for real-life incidents and allows them to experience and train incidents in a safe virtual 3D environment.

During the RescueSim presentation, the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Uri Rosenthal took control of the RescueSim simulator (images below) and entered a realistic incident scenario as a virtual firefighter together with other participants as they proceeded to take on a hangar fire.

The summit was a successful cooperation and proved a solid event for networking and knowledge sharing between the South Korean and Dutch innovator companies.
