The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning of South Korea has allocated 223,7 billion won ($186,7 million) to create a Metaverse ecosystem for the development of corporations and digital content in the country. The ministry's official statement of February 27 states that the money will be used to meet key goals in creating a vast Metaverse ecosystem titled the “Expanded Virtual World.” The government agency intends to use its Metaverse as a platform for urban development, education, and media.

“It is important to create a world-class metaverse ecosystem as the starting point to intensively foster a new hyper-connected industry.”
