Web3 leader BEDU aligns expansion plans with Dubai Metaverse Strategy

9 August, 2022; Dubai, UAE: BEDU, the Dubai-based leader of Metaverse and Web3 technologies in the Middle East, today announced an ambitious expansion of its services and team, as it aligns itself closely with Dubai’s recently announced emirate-wide strategy for the Metaverse.

“Dubai’s bold vision for the next iteration of the Internet is one we wholeheartedly share”, said Amin Al Zarouni, Chief Executive Officer of BEDU. “Today, BEDU looks to that future, as our strategy already aligns with that of the government. We have made waves already with our work in NFTs, blockchain and the Metaverse. Our UAENFT Keypass, a unique membership scheme for the non-fungible token community, was launched by our UAENFT division earlier this year, and we have conducted a series of well-received curated art drops.
