Access Partnership is uniquely placed to understand the different components and complexities of the metaverse (interoperability, data protection, online harm, connectivity, fintech).
Our Metaverse Policy Lab provides a vendor and technology-agnostic forum where honest and insightful conversations around the metaverse can take place. We’ll help steer the tech industry to define what the metaverse is (where we are going) and help to navigate the related policy challenges (how we get there).
To encourage this exchange of ideas, we are introducing our Metaverse Dialogue Webinar Series designed to promote discussion and coordination between metaverse stakeholders. The webinar series will explore some of the challenges that the metaverse will face and build consensus on what best practice would look like.
Follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.
We can help you further with your metaverse strategies by:
- Monitoring the evolving policy and technological developments
- Facilitating open conversations around the metaverse, and its development path
- Providing strategic advice and implementing advocacy campaigns to secure your interests in the metaverse
- Engaging with policymakers, industry, associations, and individuals, to actualise the metaverse
