The Virtual Dimension Center (VDC) Stuttgart-Fellbach is a non-profit competence and innovation center for digital product development, Virtual Reality (VR) and cooperative engineering. Almost 70 networking members of the Center comprise businesses, universities, and research and education facilities, who either propose these technologies to users or have integrated them in their own processes. In 2007, VDC joined the EU „Living Labs” network for industry and education facilities where new products in the above-mentioned technology area can be tested and trained upon.
VDC specializes in increasing the innovation and competitive abilities of SMEs through technology and knowledge transfer within its network.  VDC has relevant competencies and many experiences in the initiation and implementation of public-funded projects at different geographical levels as well as experience in dissemination activities.
The VDC network members collaborate with many other players within the business and innovation system such as regional branch-based clusters (especially in the field of mechatronics, automotive and photonics), associated partners throughout Europe (R&D institutions, companies, similar clusters). The network is closely connected to regional political bodies, chambers of commerce and other regional industry associations.
