Transcript

Alex Ruhl (PwC UK)
Remember the first time that you accessed the Internet? Hearing that dial up modem. Think about the Internet experience that you have right now. It's unrecognizable from that original Internet experience. The metaverse, it's just the evolution of the Internet.

Jeremy Dalton (PwC US)
We bring together a large community of solvers.

Mikayla Graham (PwC US)
I think the mindset of a solver is curiosity.

Louise Liu (PwC US)
Being professionally curious is quite good.

Max Harberg (PwC US)
That requires us to be trailblazers, requires us to take risks.

The Metaverse team is very unique. We come from all different backgrounds.

Louise Liu
We have developers, we have designers.

Jeremy Dalton
People from a fine arts background, people like myself who did mathematics.

Alex Ruhl
We all have this really high ambition.

Mak Harberg
We're trying to help our clients understand the opportunity for what Metaverse Technologies can help with.

Louise Liu
Looking at the cyber risk regulations, we can help them conduct their business in a safe environment.

Jeremy Dalton
Businesses need to be comfortable and confident around aspects relating to cyber security, appropriate taxation, appropriate audit requirements.

Louise Liu
We are in a really good position to do this because we have a range of skill sets.

Jeremy Dalton
One of our other differentiators at PwC is our ability to help clients end to end from right at the beginning, helping them understand about this technology through to actually building the technology with software developers, deploying it in enterprise and then understanding the implications of that technology.

Louise Liu
It feels very exciting to take our clients on this journey.

Mikayla Graham
We are seeing use cases for this virtual world where people can get together and they can connect in meaningful ways.

Alex Ruhl
As long as you have access to a smartphone and the Internet, you’re going to have all of these opportunities that don't exist right now.

Jeremy Dalton
I hope to be able to see this through to the end. That is what I think. It's inevitable. Introduction into business as usual process.

Louise Liu
I think in the future when I talk to my children or my grandchildren, they can say, Wow, you did this and this shaped the way we are living now. It will be quite exciting to hear.

Jeremy Dalton
The metaverse is magical.

Louise Liu
Collaboration.

Mak Harberg
Opportunity

Mikayla Graham
Limitless.

Alex Ruhl
The metaverse is simply the unflattening of the Internet.

Jeremy Dalton
Nobody can tell you what the metaverse is. You have to experience it for yourself.

That’s ripped straight from the matrix.
