The UAE is set to witness the next stage in metaverse development, with the Singapore-based Metapolis, which claims to be the world’s first’metaverse-as-a-service’ (MaaS) venture – akin to SaaS for web2 companies – making an entry with ambitious plans to connect businesses from various sectors to the virtual world.
The Metapolis MaaS platform will provide an end-to-end service to all economic sectors in the UAE and the larger GCC region, assisting them in developing new business insights and revenue streams, as well as expanding their customer and client interactions to the virtual world. The metaverse is currently associated with the arts, sportswear, real estate, and fashion retail, but other industries, such as healthcare, are taking baby steps to establish a presence in the rapidly expanding virtual world.
