Metaverse – Facts and Myths: A panel discussion with Richard Hobbs and Jeff Carvalho
GDI Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute

"Metaverse" is the buzzword of the hour. With it come great promises and expectations but also uncertainty. Especially in retail, the fear of possibly missing out on something very important is rampant. Or, just as bad, of wasting money on hype.

Two experts who know their way around the world of Web 3.0, blockchain and NFT provided valuable insights at the GDI’s 72nd International Retail Summit at the beginning of September. Richard Hobbs is the founder and CEO of Brand New Vision, the first marketplace for NFTs in the apparel, footwear and accessories industry. And Jeff Carvalho co-founded Highsnobiety, of which Zalando just recently acquired a majority stake.

The GDI has published an excerpt of the panel discussion. Watch the video now:
