PREREQUISITES

Overview

Moving beyond 2D, Metaverse is a computer-generated 3D simulation of a virtual world where people can connect from any part of the world. Ranging from virtual music events to non-fungible token trades, the Metaverse opens up a whole new world of economic prospects for business owners and content creators.

Many brands such as McDonald's and Gucci are taking a leap to enter the Metaverse world. But how does one set up a business in the Metaverse? This module aims to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the Metaverse and equip them with the essential knowledge of the benefits, challenges as well as rules and regulations associated with funding and setting up of businesses in the Metaverse.
