Bilbao, Spain, December 15 – The Basque Government has awarded Virtualware (EPA: MLVIR) a 1.5 million euro contract to create and install 12 multi-user virtual reality rooms in vocational training centers across this Spanish region.

The initiative places the Basque Country at the forefront of implementing advanced educational technologies.
