Oulu Meta­verse Strat­e­gy Day 11.3.2024

Oulu Meta­verse Strat­e­gy Day 11.3.2024

Meta­verse is a future phe­nom­e­non that con­nects the dig­i­tal and phys­i­cal worlds in new ways. It cre­ates new oppor­tu­ni­ties for many dif­fer­ent sec­tors. Fin­land has been a pio­neer in cre­at­ing a meta­verse strat­e­gy since 2023 (https://www.digitalfinland.org).

This event is the start of the Meta­verse strat­e­gy work for the Oulu region. Come and hear what Meta­verse is and what it means for all of us. You will be able to par­tic­i­pate in shap­ing the vision and goals for our region.

The event is also aimed at experts from tra­di­tion­al sec­tors who want to stay on top of the times and take advan­tage of the busi­ness and sus­tain­able devel­op­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties offered by Meta­verse. The event includes inter­est­ing speech­es from experts in the field.

Reserve your seat by 4^th March.: https://www.lyyti.in/OuluMetaverseStrategyDay
