We are entering the time of the metaverse, and while there has been much attention to how it will affect consumers, it has the potential to redefine how enterprises disrupt their industries. The metaverse is on the horizon, affecting industries as diverse as healthcare, tax and accounting, law, fashion, and entertainment. According to McKinsey, in the first five months of 2022 alone, more than $120 billion have been invested in building out metaverse technology and infrastructure. Early forms of enterprise solutions within the metaverse are already on the market, and Citi has estimated a market between $8-13 trillion by 2030. Thus, now is the time to start thinking about how this new wave of online interaction can benefit your business. In the past year, almost $2 billion have been spent on virtual real estate by large and small companies racing to get into the metaverse. Enterprise Metaverse Expo helps decision-makers, technologists, and developers understand the value of the metaverse for their businesses regardless of industry.

Danish Industry (DI) and the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS) have once again joined forces to let Nordic stakeholders investigate AI, and the immersive internet will develop across industries. This allows you to be prepared for what is to come and become aware of the impact it might have on your business - whether your organisation is a private entity or a governmental institution. The first edition of the Nordic Metaverse Summit was held in 2023 and was completely sold-out. The Nordic AI & Metaverse Summit is a conference that aims to bring together Nordic Business leaders and frontrunners to explore how the Metaverse, AI, and emerging technologies, in general, might impact our future from both a commercial and consumer standpoint - giving the participants the tools to be able to act now instead of finding themselves operating in worlds designed by and for someone else.
