[PRESS RELEASE – Stockholm, Sweden, 10th May 2022]
Metabloxz enters into collaboration with one of the largest pharmacy chains in Sweden. Last week Kronans Apotek opened its first demo pharmacy in the Metaverse. The launch took place during SIME, Northern Europe’s leading strategic event on digitization.
In collaboration with the metaverse platform Metabloxz, the pharmacy chain wants to explore the possibilities for future e-commerce in the virtual world. Metaverse pharmacy is the latest innovation in Kronans Apotek’s digitalization journey and a pilot project to explore the retail of the future.
CEO and Co-founder of Metabloxz Jonny Youssef said: “It is an honor and a great pleasure to work with Linda Wakeham and Kronans Apotek to help them accelerate into the Metaverse with Metabloxz.

Kronans Apotek is probably the first pharmacy that is exploring and launching in Metaverse and we are happy to be a part of their Metaverse journey”
Linda Wakeham, Head of PR Strategy at Kronans Apotek says: “We are convinced that the pharmacy of the future is about being able to offer the best possible service to customers in all channels. If it is in the metaverse, no one knows, but for us, it is important to be at the forefront of digital development and review how we can meet the needs of the future.”
