How will the metaverse change our behavior as it reshapes experiences?

Beatriz Sanz Sáiz 22 Apr 2022

The metaverse will not be a single experience, company, or technology – but rather a dynamic ecosystem of connected, interoperable and persistent metaverse platforms that incorporate many technology and infrastructure providers, financial services providers, developers, creators, brands and users – just like the current web. The metaverse has the potential to transform all industries – not only in terms of how business is done and how goods are sold, but how people interact with each other through work, shopping, socializing and more.
