Virtualware, a provider of enterprise software based on immersive and 3D technologies, has this week announced a contract extension with ADIF, the Spanish public entity responsible for managing the national railway network.
According to Virtualware, the four-year agreement is worth over EUR €800,000 and covers the continued operation and enhancement of ADIF’s Railway Infrastructure Training Simulator (RITS). The company added that the extension builds on a partnership that began in 2021, when ADIF first selected Virtualware to develop a new generation of VR training simulators.
The RITS solution is based on Virtualware’s enterprise XR platform, ‘VIROO.’ The system leverages virtual reality (VR) to train professionals in the operation and maintenance of railway infrastructures, and allows multiple users to train simultaneously in various railway tasks, ranging from basic operations to specialized procedures.
Virtualware stated that RITS has been deployed at the Valencia Technology Training Centre and additional remote sites across Spain, and provides training to approximately 1,000 new workers per year.
“This renewal confirms the value that immersive training delivers in a critical infrastructure sector. ADIF continues to set the standard for how railway operators prepare their workforce, and we are committed to advancing the RITS with new capabilities over the coming years,” said Unai Extremo, CEO of Virtualware.
According to the company, the contract follows a period of growth, which saw Virtualware close out 2025 with bookings exceeding EUR €8 million, primarily from government and nuclear projects.
In addition to ADIF, Virtualware stated that it serves various global organizations, including GE Vernova, Volvo, Alstom, and the Spanish Ministry of Defence.
