The core value of the Metaverse Summit community is knowledge sharing and transmission, which is the most sustainable way to develop a decentralised and fertile metaverse future. The Metaverse Summit will help individuals and businesses define their positioning and strategy by bridging the gap between web2 and web3.

Through the inclusion of women and underrepresented groups who are often marginalised in the technology field, Metaverse Summit supports diversity in the web3 industry.

“We are honoured to host an international first-ever women-led Metaverse convention and festival in Paris,” said Yingzi Yuan, founder of Metaverse Summit (pictured). “Web3 adoption is critical to the advancement of women, and Metaverse Summit is thrilled to contribute to this initiative.”

And the Metaverse Startup Award has various initiatives to encourage female entrepreneurs, providing thought-leadership platforms for women and developing innovative solutions for organisations committed to closing the gender gap in the workplace. Investors will have the opportunity to meet the winners of the Metaverse Startup Competition and learn more about metaverse-related entrepreneurs and skills.
