Virpp and H20 Esports Campus Amsterdam are joining forces with a new collaboration in which the worlds of music and esports come together. This collaboration will provide a platform for new talent with a passion for music and gaming which will eventually lead to great game & Esports music.
Virpp is a platform where a worldwide audience of record labels, producers, fans and artists can access a large database of demos and (still) unreleased tracks.. Through their platform, Virpp gives H20 the opportunity to discover new game music and give the artists behind it a stage in the game community. Artists can submit their own demos via Virpp's platform or via H20's website. To do so, they must first register.
The H20 page on the Virpp platform can be found here:
https://virpp.com/contests/234
The music will be used during big game events at H20 where the artist can perform his own demo on the mainstage of the Rabo Esports Stadium at H20 Esports Campus Amsterdam. The demo's of the artists can also be used for several esports streams or other content.
Talent development is a high priority for both companies. Where Virpp mainly focuses on talent development within music and offers an open stage on their platform, H20 focuses on developing the new generation in esports, gaming and creative tech. By effectively combining these two forces, new opportunities are created that allow talented people to develop their skills in these fields to the fullest.

The Meta, the developer of the highly successful aim training tool KovaaK 2.0 enters into a partnership with H20 Esports Campus Amsterdam, Europe's largest esports academy. This partnership aims to offer the best training tools to visitors, coaches and young talents of H20.
As part of the partnership with The Meta, H20 will have full access to the same high-quality training tools that other professional esports players and streamers use to compete. It will now be possible to take personalised aim training sessions at H20.
In addition, H20 will also have access to the data of KovaaK's users for overarching academic purposes such as data science, statistics and other data-driven disciplines.
Cody Dragon of The Meta said the following about the partnership: "What H20 Esports Campus is building with their state-of-the-art training facilities is nothing short of revolutionary. Their vision for the world of personal accelerated learning environments in esports should become the standard for the entire esports world. H20 delivers the best player experience and we can be nothing less than proud to support this initiative with the most powerful aim training software in the world."
Training tools
The H20 Esports Campus is a platform for educating the next generation of esports athletes through gaming, esports and creative tech. The Rabo Esports stadium is the first and largest permanent esports event venue in the Benelux and aims to become the largest esports hub in Europe. The campus includes a 10,000 m2 Esports gaming arena, workplaces and offices for startups and companies in Gaming, Esports and Creative technology.
Co-founder and CCO of H20, Matthijs Vink, is proud of the partnership with KovaaK 2.0: "We strive to be the best facility in Europe for esports talents and professionals. Therefore, we as H20 are always looking for the best partners to grow in every facet of our work. With the partnership with KovaaK's we are adding a fantastic tool for everyone to improve their skills and become better at a crucial part of esports and gaming, namely aiming and shooting. We look forward to setting up new activities and training sessions for our visitors!"
H20 cooperates with CoffeeClick to provide our tenants and employees with delicious coffee at work. CoffeeClick takes care of the whole process, from the version of coffee beans to up to date service.
The H20 Esports Campus Amsterdam is not only a place where esports talents are trained, but the campus also houses numerous companies active in the creative tech industry. H20 was therefore faced with the challenge of supplying a business centre, game hall and catering establishment with coffee. We ended up with the business coffee supplier CoffeeClick, who transformed our wishes and requirements into a successful partnership.
The H20 Challenge
CoffeeClick's customer case on H20 talks about the so-called 'H20 Challenge'. The campus is used for various purposes and had to provide delicious fresh bean coffee at various points. It was also important that when an event takes place on campus, H20 should have the possibility to scale up with (temporary) additional equipment.
Before, we did not have coffee machines and we made coffee the old-fashioned way with pre-ground coffee and a percolator. H20 is a large organization with different departments, so we were looking for a trouble-free alternative that would save us time and effort in making coffee. After many positive reactions we contacted CoffeeClick. CoffeeClick now arranges everything for us", says Matthijs Vink of H20 Esports Campus Amsterdam.
We may again receive esports players and other interested parties from all over the country, so are you in the mood for delicious fresh bean coffee at a fat location? Then come by H20 Esports Campus and enjoy CoffeeClick's coffee!
CoffeeClick provides professional coffee machines for businesses and links this coffee machine with payment system.

Van den Broek: "Go!Gaming is the perfect addition to the cinemas of Pathé. It is important for Pathé to remain relevant for new generations and therefore we continue to innovate. The popularity of gaming and esports has been growing for years. In the past year, we have also noticed that people need entertainment more than ever before, but at the same time they also need interaction and social contact.
We have often organised successful small-scale gaming and esports events in our cinemas and since this summer we have launched Pathé Play, where visitors can play games on the big screen using their own console. By adding Go!Gaming to our cinemas, we can serve our younger target groups and gamers even better. With H20 Esports Campus we have found a partner who strives for the same top quality and customer experience and who has years of experience in building a professional Esports Tech Campus and Esports Stadium. Go!Gaming will make our cinemas even more the place to enjoy an evening or day out with friends and family."
H20 Esports Campus
H20 Esports Campus is the Dutch on- and offline platform where esports, gaming and creative tech come together, and where Dutch esports talent is trained and prepared for a future in creative tech. Matthijs Vink, co-founder H20 Esports Campus: "We are extremely proud that we are going to bring this new concept to the market together with market leader Pathé. After our launch at the end of 2019, we were hit hard by the corona crisis, but in spite of that we still managed to achieve considerable growth. Now it is time for the next step.
Through the cooperation with Pathé we can expand our activities from top esports players to a broader target group of gamers and introduce them to the H20 Esports Campus. Our goal is to create an environment where the right guidance and expertise is available so gamers can meet each other in an educational and responsible manner. If more professional esports players eventually roll out of that, that would be great."

H20 Esports Campus Amsterdam and Faber Audiovisuals have entered into an intensive cooperation. Both companies are progressive and leading when it comes to innovative techniques and want to use the cooperation to strengthen their strength in working with these new technologies. Innovation and education are the key words for the partnership.
At this moment the first concrete steps are being taken to shape the cooperation. In the Rabo Esports Stadium within the H20 Esports Campus, Faber employees are building a new high-end virtual streaming studio. The new studio is equipped with the most modern techniques, which creates an infinite range of innovative possibilities for clients to make productions from the studio. Online, interactive, hybrid, streaming, the possibilities are numerous and the visual experiences impressive.
Both Faber Audiovisuals and H20 Esports Campus already explicitly link their innovation and creativity to training and education. The existing training courses will be optimally combined and will strengthen each other. The expertise brought in by both parties generates an even better connection between education and contemporary practical needs. Innovative techniques such as streaming, Unreal, AR and VR are used in Esports and Gaming, but also within event technology. The many possibilities of working in the event-technology are even better highlighted within the various courses by linking the expertise of both companies.
According to Matthijs Vink of H20 Esports Campus Amsterdam, the extended partnership with Faber provides a great innovation within the H20 Campus . "An innovation based on VR and AR technology that is applicable to TV, streaming as well as Gaming and Esports. The aim is to offer added value to parties who want to offer a unique viewing experience to their fans, customers and business relations. Together with Faber, we will also educate young people and those who are interested. Students will be trained in the latest technologies and in this way prepared for the jobs of the future, in both broadcasting as well as Gaming and Esports."
Cees Jan Faber, ceo of Faber Audiovisuals endorses this. "The youth has the future. In the new world of technological developments, we need young talent. The techniques of Esports and Gaming perfectly match the current developments in event technology. The opportunities for jobs in this sector are still too unfamiliar to students. We would like to change this. To make young people enthusiastic for this wonderful profession. In addition, in an innovative environment like the H20 Campus, the studio is a fantastic venue to serve clients."

After the summer holidays, the Software Developer course has started in the H20 esports campus. This is a course offered by Horizon College in Purmerend in close collaboration with Bit Academy, an initiative aimed at better linking ICT education to the job market. The students learn from seniors and coaches how to deal with the rapid developments within this field in a different way. They work on realistic assignments from the business world. The partnership with Bit Academy fits in perfectly with the aims of the PurmerValley foundation. The foundation recently received a 2.5 million subsidy to develop and accelerate ICT projects in the Purmerend region.
During the Software Developer course, young people are trained to develop software for various applications such as websites, games and mobile apps. The H20 esports campus is also home to several young technology companies in order to stimulate cross-fertilisation between education and business.
The field has grown enormously due to the technological revolution of the past decades. The need for well-trained ICT personnel is therefore many times greater than the supply. New techniques and frameworks appear every month, which means that students must learn to deal with rapid changes. This requires a different form of education. One that revolves around learning and collaboration.
LEARNING AT YOUR OWN PACE
Students can choose their own direction and pace within the programme. The majority of the time, the student is busy with assignments from the business world, so they already get acquainted with it. Coaches from the business world with up-to-date experience guide the students and give workshops on current developments. Also 'in time learning' has been introduced: students have to investigate by themselves by trying things out. In doing so, they run into problems and are more open to absorbing material about the required method of working. Another important pillar is cooperation: you learn together instead of individually. Students are not only making assignments together, but also coaching each other, giving feedback and asking each other for help. By working together with Bit Academy, we expect to be able to help more young people develop their talents to meet the need for well-trained ICT staff in our region,' says Patrick Colli, ICT training manager at Horizon College.
BIT ACADEMY
The collaboration with BIT Academy is one of the initiatives to interest young people in training and a job in ICT. The PurmerValley Foundation, a partnership between the regional business community, education and the municipality of Purmerend, recently received a EUR 2.5 million subsidy to strengthen and enrich ICT education in the Purmerend region. The collaboration with Bit Academy contributes to this.
