Global Metaverse Carnival: Asia Immersive Web Ecosystem and Innovation

Exploring Innovation and Policy in the Asian Immersive Web Ecosystem

At a recent panel discussion on the Asia Immersive Web Ecosystem and Innovation, I had the pleasure of joining industry leaders and friends of Journee to explore the evolving landscape of the Metaverse in East Asia. Our esteemed panelists included Takayuki Suzuki, CEO of Meta Tokyo; Lewis Muir Lupton, Chief Metaverse Officer at Shadow Factory; and Mingqi Ning, Director of Innovation and Technology at Output.

Our conversation focused on the key drivers of growth and transformation within the Asian Immersive Web ecosystem, touching on three major themes: government policies, regulatory frameworks, and the latest technological innovations fueling opportunities in the region. East Asia has emerged as a global leader in immersive web adoption, with governments actively shaping regulations to foster innovation while ensuring user safety and data privacy. This forward-thinking regulatory environment has enabled companies to push the boundaries of what's possible within virtual spaces.

This panel highlighted the dynamic growth and collaborative spirit driving the immersive web ecosystem in East Asia, showcasing how government support and visionary leadership are opening up exciting possibilities for innovation and digital engagement across the region.
