The Metaverse: Join The Rush to Bring the Real World into a New Age

September 21, 2022 • 0 Comment

First it was the real world’s “bricks and mortar”. Then, the Internet allowed you connect the real world with the digital world. And now the Metaverse will do away with the real world altogether?

Simply stated, the Metaverse is a set of virtual experiences generated from virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies. Those allow you to interact with other people or objects and get virtual goods through an avatar. In other words, the Metaverse is going to mean a transformation in the way people shop, how they play, get excited, or interact. Therefore, companies’ role in this opportunity is imperative to generate new business. Think about the creation of digital goods (from consumables to collectibles), the related marketing and transactional activities, etc. You are only limited by your imagination now.

This panel discussion will explore:

  • What is the Metaverse? And why should we care?
  • What does the future metaverse look like and how far away is it?
  • The range of new business opportunities that will emerge for startups in this new frontier.
