Aventis Graduate School, an award-winning graduate school and corporate training provider headquartered in Singapore, today unveiled its metaverse roadmap to become Asia’s first graduate school to enter the open metaverse.

This initiative is done in collaboration with Multiverse Labs, a leading pioneer in the metaverse space, and Smobler as its digital campus architect.​Called Aventis Metaverse, Aventis strives to make graduate and executive education affordable and accessible across Southeast Asia, which is the world’s fastest growing region with a population of more than 700 million.​

Adopting a phygital (a combination of physical and digital) approach enables professionals and executives in Southeast Asia to enjoy education in a hybrid of the physical and metaverse realms through networking, conferences and global executive or advanced management programmes.

In September 2022, Aventis Graduate School officially entered a tripartite partnership with Smobler and The Sandbox, a global, community-driven platform for creators to monetize digital assets created on the blockchain, to establish the first The Sandbox Academy in Singapore.

The academy focuses on developing talent and creators for the open metaverse. For starters, the academy will provide technical courses such as Voxel Art and Game Maker Certification and will later expand into more offerings to cater to jobs that will be created in the open metaverse.
