Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 31, 2022) – iMining Technologies Inc. (TSXV: IMIN) (the “Company” or “iMining”), a publicly-traded Web3 company, is pleased to announce that its fully owned subsidiary, Metaverse Advisory Group (“MAG”) has entered into an agreement for a Metaverse based property with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation (“Glenrose Foundation”).
Metaverse Advisory Group will collaborate with the Glenrose Foundation to secure a building name, design to build the property and produce NFTs, wearables and an immersive NFT Gallery on behalf of the Glenrose Foundation.
The Glenrose Foundation will open the doors of its Metaverse building in Manhattan, Decentraland’s most exclusive area, during Alberta Technology Symposium, which takes place from April 20th to April 21st, 2022. The dynamic gallery will feature avatars that will act as Glenrose Foundation’s team members, ambient sounds and custom fixtures throughout. Eventually the gallery will include a collection of NFT art created by patients using brain-computer interfaces.
“Manhattan is evolving into one of the key downtown destinations in the Metaverse. Recently, the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation announced it has become the first healthcare foundation in Alberta to accept donations in cryptocurrency,” commented Khurram Shroff, CEO of iMining Technologies and Metaverse Advisory Group. “The momentum that is being generated through these kinds of partnerships is evidence that the Metaverse and Web3 are changing how we use these emerging technologies for healthcare.”
This partnership was created by Metaverse Advisory Group, Manhattan Decentralized Autonomous Organization (“DAO”) and the Glenrose Foundation, which supports the largest free-standing, comprehensive tertiary rehabilitation hospital in Canada, serving patients of all ages who require complex rehabilitation to enable them to participate in life to the fullest.
Mark Korthuis, President & CEO of the Glenrose Foundation added, “Technology and innovation are integral to how we support patients in achieving their goals. Being the first hospital foundation in the Metaverse aligns with our mission to fuel advancements in healthcare. We are proud to partner with Metaverse Advisory Group and Manhattan DAO as an avenue to connect our fundraising efforts across new audiences.”
The Property owned by Manhattan DAO, where the Glenrose Foundation will open its offices and virtual NFT Gallery, represents the equivalent of 16,000 SQFT of real estate that is being designed and developed for the Glenrose Foundation by the Metaverse Advisory Group.
The overall Manhattan Area represents the equivalent of 48 million square feet of developable real estate and is an exclusive downtown locality within the Decentraland Metaverse. The Manhattan DAO is a community of LAND owners in Decentraland Metaverse that proposes and votes on policy updates, development in the Manhattan Immersive Platform, auctions, whitelisting of NFT contracts to be allowed inside the Manhattan Immersive World and other items which the community deems relevant.
