Top Kickoff Event of our Foundation Metaverse Europe on Monday at Pan Am Lounge – Berlin above the rooftops of the city. After a welcome speech by Oliver Autumn and Maren Courage, the founders of the non-profit foundation, it continued with great impulses from our talk guests: Iris Plöger Maike Scholz Tobias Eismann and Isabella Hermann around the #Metaverse and its challenges in the industrial and ethical context.

Thanks to the Meta Team, guests were also able to dive right into the Metaverse with Horizon Workrooms.
