This challenge is a significant opportunity for communications service providers to explore new ways of creating and capturing value in the metaverse, a virtual space where users can interact and participate in a shared digital experience. 

By identifying the potential benefits of the metaverse for small and large enterprises, government, and society, connectivity providers can create innovative solutions that will help them to unlock value in this emerging space.

This could include the creation of tools and platforms to set up and manage virtual storefronts and experiences, or infrastructure solutions that support the needs of metaverse-based applications and services, or the development of solutions that promote education and social engagement. The possibilities are endless.

How can connectivity providers address future connectivity needs for the low-latency immersive internet (Web3/Metaverse)?

The Energy Challenge facing the telecom industry is significant, but it also presents an opportunity for the industry to lead the world towards carbon neutrality and reduce its own energy consumption.

We are leveraging the powerful innovation capabilities of the Catalyst program to find solutions to help drive innovation, sustainable growth, and social progress through projects addressing the Energy Challenge. 

Previous Catalysts have made valuable progress involving 5G radio network power management, and data center power usage effectiveness (PUE) optimizations. Now we can also explore new technologies such as 5G, IoT, and AI that have the potential to enable new energy-efficient and sustainable applications and services. 

How can our industry lead the world towards carbon neutrality, and in doing so cut our energy consumption by at least 25% by 2025?
