Start-Up Studio, Web3 Consulting & Tech provider

Capsule Corp Labs' mission is to help companies of all sizes develop their NFT-based business model and get a foot into web3.

 

Unlike the current NFT market, which operates very much like the art market– based on scarcity value, we believe that NFTs will increasingly have utility value. NFTs will initially be used in the development of sectors such as video games, music, entertainment, or the metaverse, and then gradually spread to other sectors of activity. Our role is to enable this transition from Web 2.0 to Web3, which can be technologically complex

- explains Clément Téqui, CEO of Capsule Corp Labs and Co-Founder of Ternoa.

 

Capsule Corp Labs offers a "business as a service" model to Web3 start-ups by providing them with human and technological resources such as developers and product managers to help them develop NFTs. In the space of six months, Capsule Corp Labs has already helped dozens of startups, large corporates, or gaming companies to design and launch their first web3 product.

Developing International Reach

To keep building pace, Ternoa intends on conquering new markets. To this end, Ternoa and Capsule Corp. Labs support Dubaï’s efforts to become a global hub for metaverse blockchain ecosystems.

 

The UAE is developing programs and systems to establish itself as an incubator for Metaverse technology and adoption. Ternoa, leveraging this fresh infusion of funding, will position itself as the vanguard wave by developing operations in Dubai.

 

UAE recently established a Higher Committee for Future Technology and Digital Economy. In July, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, vowed to "promote Dubai's supremacy in the digital economy globally”. He expects the initiative to lead to 40,000 jobs and a 4 billion dollar boost to the UAE's economy over the next five years.
