Metaverse Continuum

Start your journey where change, imagination and opportunity meet.

Next iteration of the internet: The metaverse

The metaverse as the next internet revolution.

Listen to the podcast

Enter a new era of digital change

We have a distinctive perspective: that the metaverse is a continuum, a spectrum of digitally enhanced worlds, realities and business models.

It will revolutionize nearly all aspects of life and business in the next decade, allowing collaboration in virtual spaces, augmented physical places and a blend of both. And it will create new lines of business and transform interactions between customers and companies.

Right now, businesses are racing toward a future very different from the one they were designed to operate in. Soon, every company will find themselves at the intersection of many new worlds, from building new physical and virtual realities to providing services in environments created by others.

To grow and thrive in this new and fast-changing world the strategies organizations develop now must have responsibility at their core - from ownership of data, to inclusion and diversity, sustainability, security and personal safety.

The time is now to think big, start small and scale fast.

How to build a responsible metaverse—starting now

The metaverse is here. Here's how to build a foundation for what comes next. Read more.

Case studies

Like many other island nations, Tuvalu - a small Pacific Island nation - is threatened by rising sea levels and studies project that if the current climate trajectory continues, Tuvalu could be completely submerged in a matter of decades.

Inspired by this, Accenture helped Tuvalu tell a compelling story at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), through Simon Kofe, Tuvalu’s Minister for Justice, Communication and Foreign Affairs, from a digital version of Tuvalu, highlighting the country’s plight and its innovative plans, but also urge governments to act immediately.

Accenture developed and produced a film and website for Kofe’s COP27 speech. This was all done in just six weeks—in time for COP27.
