Decentralized mobility marketplace Iomob has sealed a partnership with sustainability-focused metaverse Next Earth.
The aim of the partnership is to collaborate on the development of a service to plan real-life journeys via the metaverse.
Spanish low-cost airline Vueling is also involved in the initiative, which will enable Next Earth users to track the carbon emissions of journeys and book “carbon positive” options using the metaverse and Iomob’s app.

Gabor Retfalvi, CEO of Next Earth, says, “Developing methods to visualize and experience sustainable travel within Next Earth fundamentally aligns with the natural evolution that is at the core of our environment. This is a wonderful next step for our company’s platform and evolution.”

In a recent interview with PhocusWire, Boyd Cohen, CEO of Iomob, highlighted the potential for planning real journeys via the metaverse as well as other possible use cases.
Jesus Monzo, distribution strategy and alliances manager of Vueling Airlines, says, “Visualizing real-world journeys and the carbon footprint for each leg, in addition to using a metaverse interface to select and book the least environmentally harmful trip, has never been done before.”
Next Earth’s parent Limitless will work on integrating Iomob with the metaverse platform.
