The metaverse is still in its early days, but opportunities for businesses are already materialising. Tech companies and big brands are betting heavily on the metaverse. We believe that the metaverse is an evolution of the internet as we know it, and that it will enable the further integration of our digital and physical lives. It’s an evolution offering many opportunities to reshape the way we use the internet, interact with each other and with organisations. For business, we see four big opportunity areas: employee experience, customer experience, process improvement and an expansion with new products and services.
Our aim is to support our clients by generating a thorough understanding of the metaverse and its associated technologies, how it can concretely be used in their business, and what the top- and bottom-line benefits could be.
We know that for some this might seem like a long way off. However, digital natives grow up with technology as an integral part of life, gaming has entered the consumer and workforce markets, and we cannot imagine our lives anymore without digital tools. Therefore, we believe that the metaverse and its technologies are here to stay and the market will grow rapidly year by year. By 2030, it’s estimated that there will be five billion metaverse users.
