Previously, we learnt of a 13-year-old who’s been selling NFTs of his art and hopes to create a game around his work one day. We also reported an event highlighting women in NFTs, for International Women’s Day.

Bringing Malaysian businesses to the metaverse
With the pandemic’s lockdowns, more Malaysian businesses have adapted to the digital world. But that’s seemingly no longer enough, with the impending global shift towards the metaverse and Web3.
Hence, Meta Universe (MU) was built by a Malaysian team to help local businesses navigate what could be a new and unfamiliar space to them.
The company aims to be a B2B solutions provider offering a comprehensive range of Web3 services that will enable businesses to expand their existing products or services into the virtual realm.
It will do so by leveraging Web3 technology and elements including the metaverse, digital assets, virtual infrastructure, and cryptocurrency.
MU’s services will range from conceptualising viable business models for the metaverse, creating and managing virtual campaigns, purchasing virtual lands, and financing projects, to name a few.
