The Metaverse Business District (MBD) project aims to enable and empower every individual with the opportunity to own and control their financial freedom via an entirely new digital cross-chain metaverse experience. MBD’s project will provide opportunity for every unique individual as well as communities, businesses, and charitable organizations to thrive in a decentralized world where equitable services are readily available.
The project’s roadmap and social impact scope include decentralized services and deliverables such as: a Non-Fungible Token Marketplace (NFT), Fiat and Crypto Financial Investment Opportunities, Digital Real Estate Exchange, Globalized Educational Services, Health and Wellness, Entrepreneurial Marketplace, and Advertising opportunities.
What do you think about the next period of time, keeping in mind the pandemic and the new business climate? How will your industry be affected?

“54% of these experts said that they expect by 2040 the metaverse WILL be a much-more- refined and truly fully-immersive, well-functioning aspect of daily life for a half billion or more people globally.
46% said that they expect by 2040 the metaverse WILL NOT be a much-more-refined and truly fully-immersive, well-functioning aspect of daily life for a half billion or more people globally.”
Which I believe will bring the global economy together through digitalization via mass adoption. Education will play a key role as we pivot through this economy towards a more equal and sustainable goal.
Please name a few technologies which have the greatest impact on your business.
NFT (Non Fungible Token)-Nfts will revolutionize the Retail & Service Industry! According to Statista’s consumer loyalty statistics:
- 75% of consumers say they favor companies that offer rewards.
- 65% of a company’s business comes from existing customers.
Increasing customer retention by just 5% boosts profits by 25% to 95%.
58% of companies pursue personalization strategies for customer retention.
NFT’s such as digital twins of products with utilities = Physical products + Brand Loyalty Program.
Mass adoption will happen if we simply, educate and incorporate current solutions to enhance the consumer experience, while reducing operating costs.
