While already a stand-out in the realm of the blockchain metaverse, The Sandbox has gone further this year. A recent press release from the team has announced multiple new partnerships with Hong Kong-based companies.
Featuring companies from industries ranging from film, music, entertainment, acting, professional services, finance, real estate, and gaming, their combined objective? Build Mega City – a cultural hub within The Sandbox, and the metaverse.
In total, the partnership has brought eight prominent names into the metaverse, each with a bullish view of the blockchain world:
- Adrian Cheng – The Hong Kong entrepreneur who has his sights on making his in-Sandbox landmark the GBA Pavilion. A vibrant place of creativity and tech wonders showcasing the successes and achievements of the Greater Bay Area startups.
- Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited (SHK & Co) – A highly successful leader in alternative investments, including The Sandbox; having participated in its $93 million Series B funding round. SHK & Co will be building a range of online host investor events, exhibitions, exclusive parties, and private performances on the platform.
- PwC Hong Kong – A key element of the PwC global network. While other partners have their sights on building, PwC Hong Kong will be focussing in on building greater understanding for companies that are otherwise unfamiliar with Web3 and blockchain.
- TIMES CAPITAL – The blockchain investment platform and asset management firm, Times Capital will be collaborating with content creators and game studios to build a highly immersive Hong Kong film IP museum and game experience based on its over 150 classic films IP portfolio.
