Abstract

韩国将野心对准了元宇宙公司。

近几十年来,韩国已成为全球科技强国之一,并拥有三星、LG和现代等科技巨头公司。如今,为了顺应“韩流”,韩国将野心对准了元宇宙公司。

今年早些时候,韩国政府宣布了其野心勃勃的“数字新政”,并计划拨款2237亿韩元(约1.77亿美元)。

这笔“巨款”投资是韩国政府对元宇宙的首批投资之一,也是其进入元宇宙世界的开端。尽管对元宇宙将采取的形式仍然未知,但是韩国正在押注元宇宙成为未来科技的中心。

韩国野心勃勃的元宇宙计划

作为韩国“数字新政”的一部分,元宇宙计划是为了投资韩国经济中的新技术,并且通过支持私营企业和创造就业机会来启动韩国的虚拟世界产业。

这是一项助力韩国科技产业扩张的全国性计划,该计划由韩国前总统文在寅发起。

这笔1.77亿美元的巨额拨款将发放给各个科技领域的私营企业,来实现虚拟现实(VR)、增强现实(AR)和全息技术的开发。

根据韩国政府的预测,元宇宙的出现将为韩国创造近200万个新工作岗位。

韩国政府计划对超过4万名韩国专业人士进行培训,并建立至少200家韩国元宇宙企业。

此外,在城市建设方面,首尔市政府正在建设一个价值39亿韩元的虚拟世界平台,让市民能够虚拟访问公共服务。

首尔市政府于2021年11月宣布,他们的长期目标是让首尔成为世界上第一个完全进入元宇宙的城市。

韩国为什么要向元宇宙“扔钱”?

经过这两年的大肆宣传,元宇宙让人们打开了“脑洞”——未来可以虚拟世界中玩耍和生活。

它被吹捧为科学技术的下一个前沿领域,尤其是Facebook将自己更名为“Meta”,并致力于开发以元宇宙为中心的未来。

同时,元宇宙的诞生也符合当下“Web 3.0”的发展,作为一个广泛的领域,里面包括了元宇宙、虚拟现实、增强现实和区块链技术,以及加密货币和不可替代代币(NFT)等数字资产。

此外,韩国发展元宇宙还有一个自身优势,即拥有强大的半导体产业,这让韩国的虚拟世界梦想更加“现实”。

制造和访问元宇宙平台所需要的电子设备,包括手机、计算机、XR和VR耳机等,都需要依赖强大的半导体产业基础,而这正是韩国蓬勃发展的行业。

有媒体援引《平行虚拟世界》一书的作者Nina Xiang表示:

在推动元宇宙发展的方面,韩国政府是目前亚洲政府里最积极、最坚定的一个,其他亚洲政府在规模和范围上都没有与之媲美的项目。

a16z on Hiring: How to Choose Between Crypto-Native and Traditional Talent?

Hiring in Crypto: Balancing Crypto-Native and Traditional Talent As the crypto industry grows, founders face the dilemma of whether to prioritize hiring professionals with blockchain experience or those with traditional tech backgrounds who can learn. The key is recognizing that crypto companies are still tech companies at their core and should apply proven hiring best practices. Crypto-native talent offers immediate productivity and is essential for roles involving high-stakes, specialized work like smart contract development, where errors can be catastrophic. However, traditional professionals from large-scale software companies bring valuable experience in scaling products, operational flexibility, and expertise in areas like fintech, UX, and security, which are crucial as crypto products target mainstream adoption. Recruiting requires tailored approaches. Some candidates may be hesitant due to crypto's volatility or complexity, while others are excited by its innovative potential. Assess candidates' motivations, curiosity, and alignment with the company's vision early. Emphasize the opportunity to shape technology's future and address financial incentives, such as token-based compensation, which can offer liquidity compared to traditional equity. Onboarding is critical. Identify knowledge gaps during hiring and design education programs, mentorship, knowledge-sharing sessions, and resources like blogs or courses to accelerate learning. Pairing new hires with experienced crypto professionals helps bridge gaps and fosters collaboration. Ultimately, successful teams blend both crypto-native and traditional talent, leveraging their strengths to drive innovation and growth.
