WHY SOUTH KOREA
South Korea is an emerging key player in the metaverse, spring boarding from its strong gaming industry and popular culture content. President Moon Jae-in’s Digital New Deal 2.0 has pledged up to 30 billion won ($26 million) in 2022 to support the industry. The “metaverse alliance” created in May 2021 to coordinate and facilitate the development of virtual and augmented reality platforms now boasts 600 companies including Samsung, Hyundai Motors, SK Telecom, and KT. Seoul Metropolitan Government recently announced the Seoul Vision 2030 plan to create a virtual communication ecosystem for all areas of its municipal administration. With a government leading the way toward public-private technological innovation partnerships and focusing greater investment into SME’s and international collaboration, this market offers significant opportunity for ambitious UK digital creative tech companies
