To harness the potential of the metaverse, the World Economic Forum (WEF) recently announced that it is building a “Global Collaboration Village” as the virtual future of public-private cooperation. It will provide immersive spaces for stakeholders to come together and address critical global issues.

• The Global Collaboration Village will be an extension of WEFs public-private platforms and in-person meetings.
• It will provide a more comprehensive process for the world to come together to explore ideas in an immersive way.
• WEF is collaborating with Accenture and Microsoft in the “Global Collaboration Village” project.
