Dubai-based metaverse solution provider Bedu launches operations

Dubai-based Bedu, Web3 technologies and solutions provider, has launched operations in the UAE.

Bedu was formed to bring expertise and investment from around the world to the UAE to accelerate the realisation of the vision for Web3, blockchain, NFT (non-fungible tokens) and the metaverse, a statement said.

The firm operates under two business verticals: Bedu Labs and Bedu World. Bedu Labs is an ‘NFT factory’ that provides turnkey solutions for clients interested in pursuing the potential of the Web3 arena. Services include planning, creation, deployment, and promotion of Web3 and NFT projects and coaching digital creators on how to safeguard their intellectual property.

Bedu World is the company’s vision to create a future interconnected ecosystem – the metaverse. Bedu World is to be announced soon and is designed with a unique futuristic approach and will be a sophisticated and advanced approach based on a blockchain implementation that the company has developed. This metaverse will be a breakthrough in its visual and technological implementation and will allow capitalising on the realm’s potential as it gives rise to a new digital economy characterised by tokenomics and blockchain.

Furthermore, Bedu has also embarked on innovative projects that will span 2022 and beyond. This includes UAE NFT, an Emirates-based NFT collection that is investing in the advancement of the digital space, the metaverse, and Web3. The first project from the company as part of the UAE NFT collection is the ‘From Desert to Mars’ that showcases works created by seven of the most creative international NFT artists.

The company’s leadership team includes Khaled Al Huraimel, co-founder and chairman, Matti Zinder, co-founder and president, and Misha Hanin, co-founder and CEO.

Al Huraimel is a leading Emirati tech entrepreneur, an AI thought leader and a strong advocate for digitalisation, having founded several startups as well as serving on several boards.

Meanwhile, Zinder is an entrepreneur and investor, having founded multiple high-companies and business groups in over 30 years of technology-driven business. He is also the founder and chairman of an early-stage VC fund and serves as chairman of several high-tech companies across the digital media and cyber realms. And Hanin is a highly experienced technology leader with over 30 years of experience in tech projects and enterprises. He is also one of the nearly 500 trained Microsoft Certified Masters (MCM) globally.

“Bedu is committed to creating a world-leading blockchain, Web3, and Metaverse solutions within the UAE and then expanding that progress throughout the MENA region and beyond because we see the country as a potential Silicon Valley for NFTs and blockchain,” said Al Huraimel. “We are born out of the UAE but global in our vision for the next iteration of humanity’s shared digital world. Together with our clients, we shall build a new virtual economy and the next digital frontier.”
