Accordingly, players can attend new virtual events and check out live team stats. In addition, Virtual Regatta also welcomes brands who want to showcase Merch, wearables, and other digital assets. Considering The Ocean Race\u2019s reputation, this is a valuable e-commerce opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>The Ocean Race has had the same goal since its foundation in 1973: to protect the seas. Together with Accenture, the group brought this mission to the Metaverse too. For example, users can explore a virtual tent called Racing With Purpose (the same as The Ocean Race\u2019s sustainability program). From learning areas to free programs for children and teens, visitors can discover how they can protect water worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are entering the metaverse and our collaboration with Virtual Regatta and Accenture because we are explorers and pioneers,\u201d<\/em> said The Ocean Race\u2019s chairman Richard Brisius. <em>\u201cSince 1973 we have sought new ways for people to engage with what is happening in the ocean.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_100421\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100421\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-100421 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-300x157.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-768x402.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-107x56.jpg.webp 107w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-150x79.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-450x236.jpg.webp 450w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20628'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20628'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"screenshot from The Ocean Race's virtual metaverse experience with Accenture\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-107x56.jpg 107w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-450x236.jpg 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-100421 size-full\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-300x157.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-768x402.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-107x56.jpg.webp 107w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-150x79.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-450x236.jpg.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot from The Ocean Race's virtual metaverse experience with Accenture\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-107x56.jpg 107w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/accenture-metaverse-nft-450x236.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-100421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ocean Race brings their vision to protect the oceans to the Metaverse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"What_Is_Virtual_Regatta\">What Is Virtual Regatta?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Founded in 2010, <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.virtualregatta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual Regatta<\/a> is among the leading e-Sailing companies.
