Virtuix Joins the Ranks of Google, Nvidia, Adidas, Walmart, and More
AUSTIN, Texas, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ:VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality systems, is proud to have been named to Fast Company's prestigious list of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year's list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations.
"We are honored to be recognized by Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2026," said Jan Goetgeluk, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Virtuix. "This recognition reflects years of innovation as we are positioned at the intersection of virtual reality and AI. We have continued to expand the reach of our Omni platform across consumer gaming, enterprise, and defense, leveraging emerging technologies like AI-generated digital environments and teleoperation of humanoid robots. We are excited for the next phase of Virtuix as a public company, we're still only getting started."
Over the past year, Virtuix has expanded its position as a leader in omni-directional treadmill technology while accelerating commercialization of the Omni One platform. The Company expanded internationally into Europe and joined Meta's "Made for Meta" program, making Omni One compatible with Meta Quest headsets and content and significantly broadening the platform's reach and addressable market.
Virtuix has expanded its patent-protected technology beyond gaming into advanced simulation and training applications for defense and enterprise markets. In early 2026, the Company introduced AI-generated terrain capabilities for its Virtual Terrain Walk ("VTW") system, enabling real-world locations to be converted into immersive and photorealistic virtual training environments in hours rather than weeks or months. The Company has seen adoption across military end markets, with test units already purchased by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Air Force Academy, and Yokota Air Force Base.
Virtuix also entered 2026 with significant corporate momentum. The Company began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker "VTIX" on January 27, 2026, and reported nine-month financial results on March 4, 2026, highlighting 41% year-over-year revenue growth. Together, these milestones reflect continued progress in scaling the business and driving revenue growth as Virtuix advances their Omni technology and applications.
The World's Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company's hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year.

"The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value.
