According to Marco, the authorities plan to launch a "Catalan metaverse." He has explained:

"The Cataverse will be connected to the Catalan language and culture. We want local organizations that do something in the field of culture to be able to implement it in the metaverse."

Barcelona will also become a center for digital innovation, he has said. To achieve this goal, much will depend on attracting talented specialists. The government has implemented a number of programs to support talented young people.
