Abstract

This policy brief presents an analysis of the virtual worlds ecosystem. We explore the technologies, firms and institutions involved in shaping one of the digital areas that are being rapidly integrated across a variety of sectors, from healthcare to manufacturing. We compare the state of play in the EU with respect to other competing nations, assess the EU’s VC landscape and the extent of EU control over virtual world companies globally, as well as foreign control of EU virtual world businesses.
