Facebook has announced 10,000 jobs in the EU to help build the ‘metaverse’

The tech giant is developing a metaverse — a new phase of interconnected virtual experiences using technologies like virtual and augmented reality.

No one company will own and operate the metaverse… bringing this to life will take collaboration and cooperation across companies, developers, creators and policymakers.

For Facebook, it will require continued investment in product and tech talent, which is why Facebook will create thousands of new jobs.

Europe is hugely important to Facebook,b and as the tech giant brings the metaverse to life.. it needs highly specialised engineers too.

In a statement, Facebook said it looks forward to working with governments across the EU to find the right people and the right markets to take this forward.

At this stage the new roles will only be in the EU but it hasn’t ruled out further extension to the rest of the world
