The Emirate of Dubai, one of the leading crypto hubs in the Middle East, is launching the Dubai Metaverse strategy which aims to make it one of the top 10 metaverse economies in the world. The strategy promotes Dubai's ambitions to support over 40,000 virtual jobs by 2030.
On July 18, the Emirates News Agency reported on the launch of the Dubai Metaverse Strategy by the Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Al Maktoum hopes to turn the emirate into a global tech capital, focusing primarily on artificial intelligence (AI) and Web3. The Dubai Metaverse Strategy is in line with the objectives of the UAE AI Strategy to enhance the nation's status as one of the world's leading countries in futuristic sectors by investing in new technologies.
The Dubai Metaverse strategy will include research and development (R&D) collaborations to enhance the economic contributions of the metaverse, using accelerators and incubators to attract companies and projects from overseas, and providing support to metaverse education for developers, content creators, and users of digital platforms in the metaverse community.
New models of government work in tourism, education, retail, remote work, health and the legal sector should be created as part of the strategy. Its main pillars would be Extended Reality, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality and Digital Twins - a virtual representation of an object or system.
