We have long been interested in the development opportunities in the Belt and Road countries and regions, especially ASEAN region. HKmediaEx has already set up its ASEAN headquarter in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We look forward to working closely with our partners along the belt and road countries and regions to grow stronger together in the emerging film and entertainment NFT, Web 3 and metaverse.” said Lewis Wan, Founder and CEO of HKmediaEx.
As to the potential winners in metaverse, Lewis said, “There is no doubt metaverse is not just a theme but a technology to reshape the world in the coming decades. No matter how the times change, content is the king. I believe the most promising sector, especially in the initial stage when the standards for hardware and software have not yet been fixed, is the cultural sector comprising music, film and entertainment, games and sports. With metaverse as the theme, culture as the carrier, and Hong Kong as the go-global gateway, HKmediaEx is running in a winning racetrack.”
