Dubai Metaverse Strategy to back over 40,000 virtual jobs by 2030, add $4 billion to emirate’s kitty in 5 years.

The Dubai Metaverse Assembly, to be held in September, will see barnstorming sessions on tapping revolutionary technology by over 300 global experts and thought leaders from over 40 companies.

Where the metaverse is concerned, Dubai has formed a higher panel for Future Technology and Digital Economy chaired by Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed.

Digital assets and the soccer industry have formed a relatively strong bond over the past several months. Numerous clubs from all parts of the globe announced partnerships with crypto companies, introduced exchanges as sponsors, or accepted the asset class as a payment method.

However, Spain’s top soccer division – La Liga – has not been so heavily involved in the sector. According to a recent press release, this trend is about to change this summer when RCD Espanyol will allow its supporters to buy tickets, food and beverage during matches, and merchandise products in bitcoin, ether, and other digital assets.

To do so, the club partnered with Crypto Snack – a financial application based in Barcelona and Estonia. It has a native iGaming token, called SNACK, listed on many major exchanges. The asset will be added to the offering, enabling fans to employ it as a means of settlement.

The company’s first retail store will be located in Burlingame, California, near Meta’s Reality Labs HQ. In this way, Meta believes it will be able to closely study how customers interact with its products before expanding its retail stores to more locations.

Of course, as Meta has been investing in more metaverse products, it makes sense that the company would have a dedicated space to demonstrate such technologies, since few people know about them for real. This also puts Zuckerberg’s company one step ahead of Apple, which is still rumored to introduce its first mixed reality headset sometime later this year or early 2023.

If for some reason you have always wondered what it would be like to visit a physical Facebook store, the Meta Store opened on May 9.
