Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM Bahlil Lahadalia said his party brought WIR to an international forum to open the world's eyes that Indonesia's potential is not only in the plantation, mining, tourism, and manufacturing sectors, but also in the digital and creative technology sectors.

"The digital and creative-technology sectors are important in the formation of the metaverse, where Indonesia opens up opportunities for foreign investors to build various 'factories' of metaverse components in this country," said Bahlil.

“Metaverse” is not very new to Indonesians, but it was recently echoed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in his speech when he changed his company name to “Meta”.

With the increase in global human interaction in the digital realm, individual collaboration exists to create new universes with new rules, and by using various technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality.

“The world of this metaverse is limitless, but to navigate and interact in this world requires special ways. We participate in building the metaverse with our expertise in developing the latest augmented reality that can answer the needs of the future metaverse,” said CEO of WIR Group Michael Budi.

According to him, WIR Group is very fortunate to be able to develop with the guidance of two Ministries in Indonesia, namely the Ministry of Communication and Information and the Ministry of Investment, so that it can always create new innovations that are relevant and in line with the country's vision and goals.
