Online Meet up : 3 December, 2-3:30pm CET
The Metaverse – the fusion of digital and physical worlds through virtual and augmented realities – holds enormous market potential. It is transforming business models, opening new opportunities for creative applications, while also presenting major challenges for industry, research, and society. A key role in this transformation is played by the creative industries. As pioneers of innovation, they are experimenting with new digital and hybrid communication and entertainment formats and are developing immersive applications that drive change across multiple sectors. In this context, the games, XR, and VFX industries are particularly noteworthy, as they already offer many exciting practical examples and are therefore among the most relevant fields of technology.
WHO THIS IS FOR?
The virtual meetup is aimed at creative entrepreneurs, representatives of creative clusters, network and business support organizations, researchers, and policymakers—as well as anyone curious about how Baden-Württemberg is integrating the Metaverse into its digital strategy. Participants will also gain exclusive insights into pioneering projects and initiatives that are already exploring or operating within the Metaverse.
