[Asia Economy Reporter Tae-min Ryu] POSCO Engineering & Construction announced on the 19th that it opened the metaverse virtual office building "POSCO E&C META Space" using the 'ZEP' platform on the 16th. ZEP is a metaverse platform jointly developed by Naver Z, the operator of Naver Metaverse Zepeto, and Supercat.

POSCO E&C META Space was developed to support meetings and work between sites, headquarters, and stakeholders anytime and anywhere as flexible work and hub office operations become common. It enhances immersion and interest by enabling communication through personalized avatars in spaces modeled after actual buildings such as POSCO E&C’s Songdo office and Central Park.

Employees can attend meetings with their avatars in virtual meeting rooms and conference rooms, while outsiders can access areas outside the workspaces. When accessing POSCO E&C META Space and entering the Songdo office, there is a "Structural Materials Town" on the first floor where visitors can explore POSCO E&C’s representative structural materials projects such as Yeouido Park One and Gwangyang LNG Terminal.

On the second floor, visitors can find various news about POSCO E&C and its apartment brand The Sharp in spaces like "The Sharp Lounge." The third and fourth floors are equipped with meeting rooms, a Global Academy, and a conference hall for meetings and in-house training.

Rest areas are also provided. Visitors can relax in "Alpha Space," which recreates Incheon’s Songdo Central Park, and enjoy light activities such as retro games and psychological tests in the "FUN Zone."

A POSCO E&C official said, "We hope this space will become more than just a meeting place, serving as a venue where many people can access news about POSCO E&C and The Sharp and communicate with each other."
