Dubai-based BEDU, which is a pioneer in Web3 and metaverse technologies and solutions, has launched in the UAE with a pledge to empower businesses, governments, and individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to ‘build the next digital frontier’.
BEDU was formed to accelerate the realisation of the vision for Web3, blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFT), and the metaverse, while bringing expertise and investment from around the world to the UAE.
The co-founder and chairman of BEDU, Khaled Al Huraimel, said: “BEDU is committed to creating world-leading blockchain, Web3, and metaverse solutions within the UAE and then expanding that progress throughout the MENA region and beyond, because we see the country as a potential Silicon Valley for NFTs and blockchain.
“We are born out of the UAE, but global in our vision for the next iteration of humanity’s shared digital world. We are the leader in the blockchain space – a gateway to the metaverse for the UAE and the region. Together with our clients, we shall build a new virtual economy and the next digital frontier.”

BEDU World is the company’s vision to the creation of a future interconnected ecosystem – the metaverse.
BEDU World is to be announced soon and is designed with a unique futuristic approach. It aims to be an extremely sophisticated and advanced approach, based on a unique blockchain implementation that BEDU has developed.
This proprietary metaverse, will be a breakthrough in its visual and technological implementation and will provide the ability to capitalise on the realm’s limitless potential as it gives rise to a new digital economy characterised by tokenomics and blockchain.
BEDU has embarked on a range of innovative projects that will span 2022 and beyond. This includes UAE NFT, an Emirates-based NFT collection that is investing in the advancement of the digital space, the metaverse, and Web3, with a vision to progressively build a community within the industry.
The first exciting project from BEDU as part of the UAENFT collection is the ‘From Desert to Mars’ that showcases works created by seven of the most creative and influential international NFT artists.
Their artwork celebrates the UAE’s journey and evolution by exploring the dawn of the nation with the discovery of oil, the real estate boom, and finally the space venture.
“BEDU is a guide to a new world, a world that is taking shape in our familiar digital spaces,” said Misha Hanin, co-founder and CEO of BEDU.
“Our technologies reach from one side of the innovation spectrum to the other. We use AI, ML, and the world’s most sophisticated cybersecurity to deliver a democratized, ethical blockchain that the world can trust.
