Engage XR has secured a significant customer renewal with South Korean company, D'Carrick Co Ltd which has signed a new contract worth €300,000 over three years. This extends a successful three-year relationship, initially worth €70,000 per annum. Other ENGAGE customers include Kia, which is hosting a virtual car launch event in its own MetaWorld this Summer, Uniper, an energy corporation with a €6.7bn market cap, and Natixis, a French corporate and investment bank.
To keep up with the growing number of global users, the Company has launched 24/5 customer support with teams available to help customers in the US, Australia, and Europe.
David Whelan. CEO, ENGAGE XR said: "Today's announcement is just a quick snapshot of what's happening at ENGAGE XR. We will have more news and updates in the coming months with the launch of ENGAGE Link expected towards the latter half of this year. With ENGAGE Link, we are building a completely distributive economic environment for forward-thinking enterprises and individuals to build the future of work, commerce and communications.
"ENGAGE Link is the first time that our clients will have publicly accessible, always on, persistent locations to advertise their business and services directly to the general public and to potential clients. Clients can build out their own unique MetaVerse for private company use or make it available to the wider world on ENGAGE Link or via their own website using our deep links system.
"Just as the emergence of the internet changed the world in the late 90s, the professional MetaVerse will change business practices globally with how we communicate with our employees, our customers and each other."
