Renowned Ivy League Business School ‘Wharton’ Launches Metaverse Certification
In a first for a US Ivy League institution, the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School is launching a six-week online certificate course on business in the metaverse.
Wharton, one of the world’s leading business schools, has teamed up with consulting firm Prysm Group to design the course, taking the form of more than 50 lectures by industry faculty representatives along with six case studies. The Aresty Institute of Executive Education course has already attracted guest speakers from Adobe, Animoca Brands, R/GA, RLY Network.
Australia at Investment Forefront
Wharton claims that the metaverse will become a US$13 trillion market with five billion users by 2030. In fact, research from Analysis Group estimates that as the metaverse increases in popularity, it could make a US$3 trillion global GDP contribution in its first decade.
If growth estimations are realised, a lot more investment will be needed in terms of research and development. An investment of US$100 million was recently made into the launch of the Metaverse Research and Development Centre in Melbourne that will ensure Australia is ready for when the market truly takes off.
