Q1. Can you tell us about yourself and your experience in Metaverse technology?

My journey with Metaverse technology began in 2016 when I got my first VR headset, the Gear One. At that time, I had to insert my mobile phone to create a virtual world, and from that moment, I was captivated by the possibilities of this technology. I explored its potential every day, especially how it could be applied to various industries. My first venture was in real estate, where I created 3D virtual tours for clients.

I followed the technology closely, learning about every new feature and purchasing each new headset as they were released. By 2019, I decided it was time to create my own virtual world. In fact, I conceptualized the idea of the Metaverse in 2020, even before Mark Zuckerberg's announcement in 2021. Since then, my team and I have been working diligently to develop solutions in the Metaverse, which I firmly believe is the future of education, business, and communication.

Q2. Tell us about Leenium. How would you describe the nature of your business?

Leenium was officially founded in 2022, but our team has been working together since 2020 to develop our own Metaverse solution. We specialize in creating smart technologies, particularly in the areas of Metaverse solutions, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT). We believe these three sectors are among the most promising for the future, and we’re committed to shaping their development.

Q3. What are the biggest challenges you face in the Metaverse market?

One of our biggest challenges is educating people about the Metaverse. Since the technology is still relatively new, many are unfamiliar with its benefits and how it can enhance their businesses. It takes extra effort to bridge that knowledge gap, but we believe that within the next 2-3 years, more people will become familiar with it, and the market will experience rapid growth.

Q4. What needs to happen to make this technology more accessible?

We need to continue investing time and resources into educating people about the Metaverse and its vast potential, particularly in sectors like education and training. This technology can revolutionize e-learning, e-commerce, real estate, and entertainment. Governments also have a role to play by implementing supportive laws and regulations to create a solid infrastructure that will help the market grow and flourish.

Q5. Where do you see Leenium heading in the next five years?

We have strong faith in this technology, and that belief drives us forward. Our goal is to continue developing and delivering smart solutions, positioning Leenium as a leading company in the technology market. We're also working on building our own Metaverse world—a smart virtual city that will host a wide range of virtual businesses. We plan to launch this next year, and it will be a key milestone for our future growth.
