Dubai is not always associated with global creative hubs such as Berlin - even if over the past decades, noticeable strides have been taken with art fairs, design districts and incubation zones opening up across the UAE. But according to Melanie, something has shifted during COVID-19.
For Web3 innovators and the wider community, Dubai is quickly becoming an extremely inviting and attractive destination. Melanie is founder of the ‘Word of Mouth’ protocol and a ‘collaborative event’ which connects creators, founders and artists. The event is called ‘Superverse.’ It recently made a notable impact in Dubai, where it succeeded in deepening an already promising relationship between the city's tech industry and creative class.

So what has it been like arriving in Dubai, at the intersection of the creative industries and Web3? What’s it like to live in the city with a family? Finally, how can Dubai overcome stereotypes to build on recent momentum and establish itself both as a home for Web3 innovation, and a major component of the emerging metaverse economy?
