Virtuzone Plans To Build V-Shaped Metaverse Skyscraper
The tower would offer a business ecosystem for freelancers, digital nomads, remote employees, and budding entrepreneurs.
Not content with creating “Mr. Musky”, the world’s first metaverse salesperson, the UAE’s tech startup scene is aiming even higher, with plans to erect an entire office tower inside of the digital universe. The project will be managed and executed by Virtuzone, in collaboration with pax.world.
It will function in much the same way as a traditional brick-and-mortar building, serving the freelance and digital nomad economy and acting as a virtual office and meeting space.
The tower is simply called “The V” and it will offer a fully interactive ecosystem complete with video conferencing, event spaces, and other function rooms, as well as metaverse avatars and a comprehensive suite of communication tools.
The idea behind the project is to incorporate real services and solutions into a completely digital space, enabling seamless communication and networking, plus solutions for accounting and auditing. The tower will even act as a hub for establishing highly tax-efficient legal entities and help businesses utilize legal decentralized autonomous organization structures (DAOs) while pairing with real-world offices and mailing addresses.
“It is our vision as a company to be at the helm of creating a borderless business environment, where geographical boundaries do not exist, and entrepreneurs from all over the world enjoy the freedom to do business and transact with one another in a secure environment,” says George Hojeige, CEO of Virtuzone.

Millions of digital nomads and freelancers from around the globe will be drawn to the V tower, which will serve as a metaverse headquarters. The building will also bolster the UAE’s digital economy, attracting investors and helping to shape the region’s continual digital development.

Joby To Establish All-Electric Air Taxi Ecosystem Across The UAE
The comprehensive agreement with Abu Dhabi’s government includes a training program, infrastructure development, and a manufacturing presence.
All-electric aircraft company Joby Aviation has secured three separate agreements with departments of Abu Dhabi’s government that lay the groundwork to develop and scale air taxi services in the Emirate and beyond.
The deal was signed at the recent DRIFTx thought-leadership and exhibition platform and gave Joby exclusive rights to not only operate air taxi services in Dubai but also unlock inter-emirate services between Abu Dhabi.
Joe Ben Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby Aviation, said: “Today’s agreement demonstrates the incredible momentum behind the adoption of clean flight across the UAE. We’re looking forward to delivering a fantastic experience for our future customers in Abu Dhabi and we’re excited to be unlocking the potential for zero-emissions flight between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We’re grateful for the support and collaboration of our governmental partners and the entire ecosystem in Abu Dhabi and we remain deeply impressed by their commitment to building out a world-class aviation ecosystem in the Emirate”.
Joby’s all-electric aircraft went on display for the first time in Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina at the DRIFTx event. The air taxi is designed to carry a pilot and four passengers and can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour (321 km/h). The zero-emission craft is said to have an extremely low acoustic footprint and can travel a maximum of 100 miles (161 km) on a single charge.

Once operational, Joby’s air taxi fleet would enable fast, clean travel across the UAE, with journeys between Abu Dhabi to Dubai taking just 30 minutes compared with two hours by car during peak times.
Joby continues to work closely with the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to help the Emirates become a world leader in the introduction of air taxis. Additional testing and analysis will be required before inter-emirate travel becomes a reality, but the cutting-edge technology already appears to have great potential.
