Pitch Technologies Awarded Epic MegaGrant

Linköping, Sweden, Oct-13, 2020

Pitch Technologies is proud to announce the receipt of a substantial award from the 100 M$ Epic Games MegaGrant fund. The grant enables Pitch to develop new technologies for combining its leading simulation capabilities, based on open standards, with the Unreal Engine. The result will be an architecture that makes game-based simulation and training more distributed, highperforming and secure.

“Our collaboration with Epic Games will make the power of the Unreal Game Engine more
accessible to simulation developers. Pitch has a leading position in the open-standardsbased
simulation community and has a wide range of products that will synergize with
Unreal Engine. The collaboration will also help game developers collaborate with simulation
developers. Furthermore, this is a stepping-stone for innovation, where the bigger picture
can be simulated and interacted with in VR, AR and MR in previously unseen applications.”
said Björn Möller, President of Pitch.
