As one of the world’s leading proponents of using cutting-edge tech like blockchain and Metaverse tools, Dubai has been accumulating regional efforts in the digital economy development and Metaverse adoption, with the implementation of the Dubai Metaverse Strategy and The Higher Committee for Future Technology and Digital Economy launched just recently. The strategy aims to increase the contribution of the Metaverse sector to the Emirate’s economy to $4 billion and to create 40,000 virtual jobs by 2030.

Jason Luo, CEO of BitForex, said:

“Although we are in a period of uncertainty for the digital assets market, there are challenges and opportunities. The great potential of the industry and huge demands and interests coming from our users and investors towards digital assets and the financial industry are still exciting. BitForex has been committed to providing a convenient and diverse environment to welcome the next bullish market.”

A week-long event will culminate in a 2-day MetaWeek Summit, set for Sept. 12-13, taking place at the Grand Hyatt Dubai hotel. From regulatory efforts toward Web3 to digital asset market trends, to gaming ecosystems, to digitisation of corporate infrastructures, to investment strategies, to DAOs and NFTs utilities and marketing – dozens of themes related to the world of Web3 and Metaverse will be thoroughly discussed at the summit’s agenda.

Tapping into new larger audiences is one of the best ways for world-known brands from various sectors to benefit from entering the world of Metaverse.
