Meta Platforms, Inc., known as Meta and formerly known as Facebook, Inc., is a multinational technology conglomerate headquartered in California, United States.

The word “meta” comes from the Greek word meaning “beyond”, and for the company’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, it symbolizes that “there is always more to build, and there is always a next chapter to the story”.

Meta focuses on bringing the “metaverse” to life and helping people connect, find communities and grow businesses.

The “metaverse” is a set of virtual spaces where people can create and explore with other people who aren’t in the same physical space as them. In the metaverse, people will be able to get together with friends and family, work, learn, play, exercise, shop, create and more.

When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.
