The UAE Ministry of Economy is set to launch its third address – this time in the metaverse.

Emirati minister Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri said they are “setting up” a service location in the digital world, which will “offer the full experience.”

“We have one physical location in Dubai, one in Abu Dhabi and we are setting up the third in the metaverse,” he said during a panel discussion at the Dubai Metaverse Assembly on Wednesday.

The new metaverse location has an auditorium, and can hold meetings, contract signings and more, the minister added.

Al Marri explained the new service centre will be an immersive environment where people can walk around, get their tokes, interact with others, and avail services just as they could in physical locations.

The Emirati minister was speaking at a panel with Mark Zaleski, managing director and partner at BCG Digital Ventures, Bashar Kilani, managing director at Accenture. The panel was about the economic opportunities in the metaverse.
