Metaweek Dubai 2022 is discussing all things Metaverse, Transition From Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 Solutions, Ethics, Governance and The Role of Metaverse.
The MetaWeek conference will take place on September 11-14, 2022. Thousands of web 3.0 enthusiasts and thought leaders from all over the world will convene in Dubai to set the future trends of metaverse applications.
After huge success in launching the first MetaWeek in early March 2022, NexChange Group presents the second edition of the large-scale international event, taking place September 11 to 14, 2022 in Dubai.
Metaverse, an avant-garde creation of the blockchain development world, even though being in its early innings, promises to deliver a trailblazing experience for millions of users and shake the world’s economy and innovative landscape. The market opportunity for launching the Metaverse may bring an annual revenue of over $1 trillion. Web 2.0 companies, tech giants like Facebook, have already picked up the Metaverse stance, raising questions on whether they will become centralisation proponents for Web 3.0 or not.virtual world
Breaking barriers between digital and physical space, Metaverse is best described as a virtual world with highly sophisticated visual and art experience and crypto based DeFi backbone, filled with self-governed communities, and powered by interoperable blockchain networks. Inside a Metaverse, users can share and store an unlimited amount of data, use self-sovereign IDs, play games and earn & trade digital assets, create limitless digital art pieces and play with NFTs and virtual goods, launch marketplaces – you name it.
Dubai has been accumulating regional efforts in the digital economy development and Metaverse adoption, with the implementation of the Dubai Metaverse Strategy and The Higher Committee for Future Technology and Digital Economy launched just recently. The strategy aims to increase the contribution of the Metaverse sector to the Emirate’s economy to $4 billion and to create 40,000 virtual jobs by 2030. With Web 3.0 leaders and up-and-coming start-ups moving to Dubai, the city is also attracting the brightest global talent in this field. Dubai is also the world’s first and only jurisdiction with the foresight to set up a dedicated virtual assets regulator.
Alongside Metaverse, essential financial and non-financial applications of blockchain will be covered during 2022 MetaWeek, a week-long event with a core 2-day conference and rich schedule of side events.
Empowering other technologies, blockchain creates a vibrant symbiosis of advanced tech. From a buzzword to a global financial and industrial game changer — it has undisputedly become part of everyday life. Transparency, immutability, security, privacy — all the benefits of blockchain & crypto are on high demand, and are constantly discussed both at a developer’s desk and at a regulator’s office.
Blockchain masterminds, NFT creators, DeFi spearheads, AI forerunners, artists, gaming tycoons, data analysts, Metaverse instigators and other experts interested in creating and nurturing the Web 3.0 world will converge to Dubai for major MetaWeek event, which will combine high-level offline networking and content and all-around metaverse experience. Blockchain and its computing power is the main pillar for global digital transformation, so the current state of blockchain industry and the variety of protocols and solutions for FinTech, enterprise, logistics, entertainment, asset tokenisation, IoT and AI will also become part of the 2-day conference agenda.
Jason Luo, CEO of BitForex: “Although we are in a period of uncertainty for the digital assets market, there are challenges and opportunities. The great potential of the industry and huge demands and interests coming from our users and investors towards digital assets and the financial industry are still exciting. BitForex has been committed to providing a convenient and diverse environment to welcome the next bullish market.”
The week-long event will culminate in a 2-day MetaWeek Summit, set for September 12-13, taking place at the Grand Hyatt Dubai hotel.
From regulatory efforts towards Web 3.0, to digital asset market trends, to gaming ecosystems, to digitisation of corporate infrastructures, to investment strategies, to DAOs and NFTs utilities and marketing – dozens of themes related to the world of Web 3.0 and Metaverse will be thoroughly discussed at the summit’s agenda.

COSMOSS is self-care created for life’s modern journeys. COSMOSS draws on the extraordinary life experience of Kate Moss—ready to share her journey of self- acceptance and freely be herself.
Cosmoss by Kate Moss is Launching 1st September 2022.
Supermodel Kate Moss is making her foray into wellness by lancing a new brand of beauty & wellbeing products, @Cosmoss.
COSMOSS draws on the extraordinary life experience of Kate Moss—ready to share her journey. According to Kate Moss, COSMOSS is self-care created for life’s modern journeys, a celebration of every day exactly as it is, with all its imperfections.
Kate Moss just stripped naked to launch her new wellness and beauty line, wrote cosmopolitan. Supermodel Kate Moss, who once upon a time was famed for her love of late night parties, drinking and for allegedly saying ‘why the f*ck can’t I have fun all the time?’, has been subtly evolving over the past few years – embracing sobriety, gardening and a slower pace of life in the Cotswolds.
Kate Moss’ team have told Cosmopolitan UK that the brand is “grounded in a deep, personal connection to wellbeing, spirituality, and optimism, this is a collection with a difference”. They add that COSMOSS draws on “Kate’s extraordinary life experiences, her own wellness journey, and her personal transformation” via a nurturing collection of products that bring to life natural remedies to restore and rebalance “helping you to find inner harmony and vitality”.

Each product has been crafted with wellbeing in mind; each ritual opens a door to balance, restoration, and love.
Each COSMOSS product has been meticulously crafted with well-being in mind, using potent, natural substances. Each ritual opens a door to balance, restoration and love. The COSMOSS scent recentres and completes. A central ingredient in the COSMOSS product line, Oakmoss in its pure form nourishes and hydrates the skin, restoring smoothness, firmness and elasticity.
Grounding, up-lifting, and sensual, the Sacred Mist by COSMOSS is a unique eau de parfum blended with essential oils for the body and surroundings. Opening with head notes of orange blossom and bergamot, the Sacred Mist is both calming and mood- boosting.
Rejuvenating, nourishing, and moisturising, the Face Cream by COSMOSS features a formula rich with botanical extracts that nourishes the skin and decreases the effect of oxidative stress.
Holistic, potent, and reviving, the Golden Nectar by COSMOSS are CBD and pro-collagen oil drops that holistically support body, mind and soul. A uniquely potent blend of ingredients and actives including CBD and Tears of Chios that ignite the natural processes of skin rejuvenation.
@instagram.com/katemossagency
Mythical Tears of Chios is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia Lentiscus), native to the Greek island of Chios. This key ingredient reactivates cells and detoxifies the skin.
Kate Moss also engages daily rituals – Kate’s approach to balancing body and soul with the natural environment and circadian cycles. The Ritual of Dawn focuses on preparing our body for the new day and filling it with positive energy. The Ritual of Day, as practiced by Kate, is designed to rebalance and access inner peace. It transforms negative flows into positive, radiating energy.
