Ardent evangelists of the metaverse have promised a bright future in the virtual realm. 

Dear Bhinneka,

Virtual worlds, collectively known as the metaverse, are expected to help unlock economic opportunities for individuals, creators, communities and businesses across industries and profoundly change how businesses and consumers interact with products, services and each other. But how real, and how large, is the opportunity?

Why attend?
Join us online for Economic opportunities in virtual worlds, the first episode in our three-part webinar series, Leading the way into the metaverse: North East Asia's potential.

Questions we will explore:
  • As economic activities in real and virtual worlds become increasingly intertwined, what will commerce in the metaverse mean for retailers, consumers and creators?
  • What impact is the metaverse likely to have on economic inclusion and inequality?
  • Is it possible that the virtual world economy will overtake the real-world economy, or will the distinction cease to matter?
  • And how does the Asia-Pacific region stand out in terms of its ability to seize these opportunities?
