What are the challenges for creating a well-streamlined European digital funding and investment landscape, and how do you navigate them?

SHARESPACE’s project coordinator Didier Stricker (DFKI) participated during the panel discussion ‘Virtual Worlds & Web 4.0’, where the main focus was the question: what will it take for Europe to succeed in the metaverse where human-centricity, tech integration and cross-disciplinarity are of the essence? Here, Didier was able to share his experiences he gained from participating in SHARESPACE, where those topics and questions are also central.
