The metaverse is rapidly transforming corporate training, shifting the focus from entertainment to mission-critical applications. Industries such as healthcare and manufacturing are already reaping the benefits of immersive VR training modules, demonstrating real ROI and enhancing workforce capabilities. As companies like ACSILabs leverage digital twins and VR simulations, the potential for hyper-personalized learning experiences becomes increasingly evident. Despite the challenges faced by the consumer metaverse, enterprise adoption is accelerating. A recent PwC survey highlighted that 42% of business leaders are keen to explore metaverse applications for onboarding and training.

Malaysia is gearing up to make a significant mark in the metaverse with the launch of IMMERSE KL x CelcomDigi, a flagship event dedicated to immersive technology and creative content innovation. Set to take place in 2025, this event represents a pivotal shift from the Malaysia Digital Content Festival (MYDCF) to a specialized platform focusing on extended reality (XR), virtual production, gamification, and Web3. With over 300 participants and 120 companies expected to attend, the initiative aims to position Malaysia as a leader in the immersive tech landscape.
