Metaverse, Web 3.0 disruption and Blockchain progress to be discussed at MetaWeek in Dubai

11 August 2022 – Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The MetaWeek conference takes place 11.-14. September 2022. Thousands of Web 3.0 enthusiasts and thought leaders from around the world will gather in Dubai to set future trends for metaverse applications.

After the great success of launching the first MetaWeek in early March 2022, NexChange Group presents the second edition of the major international event, which will take place on 11-14 September 2022 In dubai.

As one of the world’s leading advocates for the use of cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain and metaverse tools, Dubai has accumulated regional efforts in the development of the digital economy and metaverse adoption – with the implementation of the Dubai metaverse strategy and the recently launched Higher Committee for Future Technology and Digital Economy.

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 asset market, there are challenges and opportunities. The great potential in the industry, and great demands and interests that come from our users and investors in 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 two-day MetaWeek Summit, set for 12-13. September 2022, which will take place at the Grand Hyatt Dubai hotel. From regulatory efforts towards Web 3.0, to digital asset market trends, to gaming ecosystems, to digitization of corporate infrastructure, to investment strategies, to DAOs and NFTs tools and marketing – dozens of topics related to the world of Web 3.0 and the metaverse will be thoroughly discussed on the summit’s agenda.

Frank Fitzgerald, founder of Pax.World, said:

“MetaWeek proved to be very beneficial for Pax.World following our attendance earlier this year, where we went on to build several invaluable partnerships and win ‘Metaverse of the Year’ in Dubai.

“We believe that the metaverse is not just for fun, but also for business [also] community building and education. MetaWeek also represents this along with our mutual desire to make the metaverse open to everyone. [All] this is why it was easy to say yes when they asked if we would join them again in September.”

Reaching new larger audiences is one of the best ways for world-renowned brands from various sectors to benefit from entering the metaverse world. New communities and myriad ways to interact with them are defining the virtual realms and drawing more interest from luxury fashion brands, tech giants and smaller businesses.

George Paliani, CEO of CoinsPaid Media, said:

“Many types of blockchain projects avoid the word ‘media’ and call themselves decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), communities or other variants. However, blockchain media has a number of advantages. Such projects can lead the way with functions that support Web 3.0. Now we have the opportunity to speak the same language with a new generation.”

Piers Dunhill, founder of Dunhill Ventures, said:

“The investment interest in metaverse and Web 3.0 solutions from corporate entities and private offices and funds from all over the world has increased exponentially in recent months. It shows that metaverse has become extremely valuable. It opens up many opportunities for the venture capital flow, and gives a chance that metaverse can become reality.”
