Retail and the metaverse. Meet us in the metaverse.

The Metaverse, and its opportunities, are vast.

Accenture has a distinct perspective that the metaverse is a continuum: a spectrum of digitally enhanced worlds, realities, and business models. This continuum is set to revolutionize how we collaborate, work, and connect in virtual spaces, augmented physical spaces, and a blend of both. And it will create new lines of business and transform interactions between customers and companies. The race is on for retailers and brands to stake their claim in this bold, new world.

Accenture is excited to share with you the opportunities of the metaverse and be your guide to this new world. In partnership with the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), together we are bringing you a multi-part immersive series on the metaverse.
