== NEM SRIA 2024 ==
The ''NEM SRIA 2024'' consolidates Europe’s strategy for the media and creative industries’ digital transformation. It emphasizes immersive technologies, AI, sustainability, and open standards as enablers of a resilient, ethical, and innovative European media ecosystem.

For '''OPENVERSE''', NEM acts as a '''core partner framework''' bridging technology, content, and ethics. It offers fertile ground for collaboration in XR interoperability, green media infrastructures, and cross-sector content reuse — directly supporting OPENVERSE’s mission to orchestrate Europe’s virtual and immersive ecosystems.
