The META-Balkan Summit on Legislation and Tech 2022: The Metaverse and the Power disaster

The Metaverse and the Energy Crisis: Will the Music Stop?’

Following the 2021 Balkan Summit’s successful discussion, we were encouraged to grow the audience and impact of this forum and dare to address even more forward-thinking issues. Along with the IoT Council, we co-organise the META-Balkan Summit on Law and Tech 2022 :

*The Metaverse and the Energy Crisis: Will the Music Stop?’.

This year’s theme revolves around the metaverse and the energy crisis.

While a vivid ecosystem is developed in the Region and opportunities and trends shape an economy around Metaverse, the energy crisis that has begun, sets the question: with technologies of enormous energy cost, how can metaverse be sustainable and reliable? And how the markets based on new technologies affect the enhancement of Democracy and Prosperity in the Region.
