"Accepting Applications for Metaverse Workation House Combining Vacation and Work... An-gye Myeon, Uiseong, Gyeongbuk"

Equipped with Shared Office and Accommodation Facilities

Operating Until November, Online Registration Available

Gyeongbuk Province announced on the 14th that the Uiseong-gun Metaverse Nomad project was finally selected in the recruitment of operating institutions for the ‘Metaverse Nomad Support Project’ organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Radio Promotion Association.

Metaverse Nomads refer to people who freely carry out daily activities such as work and leisure without being restricted by time and place by utilizing metaverse technology.

Urban young adults are working at 'Nonbate,' a metaverse workation house in Uiseong where they can combine work and vacation.

The Metaverse Nomad project is a project aimed at expanding the base of the metaverse and contributing to revitalizing the local economy by spreading non-face-to-face work experiences using metaverse technology to the public and companies.

This project is led by Madeinpeople and involves Gyeongbuk Province and Uiseong-gun.

Last year, Gyeongbuk Province conducted a two-month pilot operation of the Metaverse Nomad pilot project in Pohang, Uiseong, and Yeongdeok.

The Uiseong-gun Metaverse Nomad project uses the workation house ‘Nonbate’ located in Angye-myeon as a base for work and living.

By introducing various metaverse equipment and metaverse platform education programs, it supports a metaverse work environment where young people and office workers visiting the area can work without spatial and temporal constraints.

In addition, outside working hours, participants can enjoy various rural experience programs linked to the Uiseong Neighbor Village pilot project, such as local dining and craft beer brewing experiences.

A Gyeongbuk Province official said, “The workation house ‘Nonbate’ is equipped with shared offices and living spaces where young entrepreneurs living in the city can come to Uiseong for vacation and combine vacation and work.”

The Metaverse Nomad project, which individuals as well as companies can participate in, will operate from June to November, accommodating 10 to 15 people at a time for 3 nights and 4 days or 4 nights and 5 days per participant.

Lee Jung-woo, head of the Metaverse Innovation Division of Gyeongbuk Province, said, “Through the Metaverse Nomad project, we expect it to help create a new form of living population that can enjoy work, residence, and rest, as well as contribute to the creation of a diverse metaverse industry ecosystem linked to local tourism and resources.”
