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.
