The MetaWeek conference, which will be held from September 11 to 14, 2022, will provide exclusive information and define current and future trends for the development of Metaverse in the Middle East and around the world.

Organized by NexChange Group, MetaWeek will take place from September 11 to 14, 2022 in Dubai. Industry professionals, business owners, investors, corporations and government officials will gather at the Grand Hyatt Dubai hotel for the main event of the week, MetaWeek Summit, scheduled for September 12-13 . Over the course of two days, the conference will cover the most discussed digital topics of the year: development and design of metaverses, gamification and investment strategies, social impact and deliverables for the Sustainable Development Goals via blockchain and Web3 , market and management of digital assets, security and accessibility, paradigm shift of media brands, etc.

Dubai is on a mission to become the global hub for Web3 and Metaverse development and to conquer new economic frontiers, with major players in industry, from banking to urban development, tapping into the Metaverse space. The Dubai Metaverse strategy has accelerated at a rapid pace, aiming to place the city in the world’s top 10 metaverse economies, support over 40,000 virtual jobs by 2030 and add $4 billion to the Dubai’s economy in five years.

Yousof Alsatom, Senior Director of Emerging Technology Consulting at Bosch, said, “There will be more demand and expectation from end customers to get digital services and product experience through the Metaverse. Companies must be prepared and adapt their products and services to be compatible with the Metaverse. Web3 can help create a network of trust to achieve more transparency and traceability for product manufacturing. Web3 adoption is slow, but growing over time. »

But the metaverse doesn’t just affect the way people work and transform their businesses, it’s also concerned with their mental health and their spiritual needs and challenges. For generations now, communities around the world have been experiencing a reality check with the evolution of a sophisticated new virtual realm.

“The virtual world is a realm that may be analogous to the spiritual world, where it’s hard to understand, touch, smell, eat and physically mold, but it does exist,” said Elie Abadie, chief rabbi of the Jewish Council. of the Emirates. and a rabbi at the Association of Jewish Communities of the Gulf. “It is only these spirits and higher intelligences that can fathom such a reality, a world such as exists only in the proverbial twilight zone. It is certainly a higher level of existence, a level where power of our intellect can create it, shape it, transform it and give it eternal life.Thus, the zone of transition between spirit and body, matter and spirit, is located in our own consciousness.

Serge Ajamian, venture partner at Centauri Digital Assets and co-founder of Jpeg Culture: “The Metaverse is not an open-world VR version of Zoom. It’s a fictional hyper-simulation of life, where everything has value and everyone has a purpose.

One of the benefits of the metaverse for people and businesses is its vastly increased social impact, bringing “technology for good” and changing people’s lives and even the environment.

Mihaela Ulieru, Head of Strategic Impact at IOHK: “For me, the metaverse is a way to kick-start the economy with the values ​​that matter today: thriving, planet-conscious humans.”

In addition to the exciting on-site experiences during the summit, MetaWeek attendees and attendees will also benefit from high-level networking during the week’s side events: investor dinners, business breakfasts, networking cocktails are all included in the program of the week.
