Executive briefing on the metaverse

8 Conclusion

The future metaverse will be built from the existing ecosystems of infrastructure and applications,
as well as from key players and stakeholders that are already transforming many aspects of
our digital lives, whether in the consumer sector, industry, or smart cities. Interoperability and
standardization will be critical for facilitating seamless metaverse cross-platform experiences,
promoting innovation and competition, and encouraging global adoption in developing and
developed markets alike.

To ensure that the future metaverse can be enjoyed by everyone, it needs input from
governments, industry, academia and civil society. The metaverse offers a unique opportunity
to accelerate digital transformation and achievement of the SDGs; however, this can only be
accomplished by everyone working collaboratively in order to create a better metaverse for all.
