December 3, 2024: METAVISIO, parent company of THOMSON Computinga French electronics giant responding to calls for tenders exceeding $300 million, announces the revolutionary launch of the world's first Web3 laptop. By combining cutting-edge financial and cryptographic technologies with the world-class hardware expertise of METAVISIO – THOMSON Computing, this initiative paves the way for the secure development of Web3 native hardware built on a proprietary operating system. With this launch, METAVISIO – THOMSON Computing becomes the first fully integrated hardware and software provider for the Web3 era.
Recently, METAVISIO – THOMSON Computing obtained funding from 50 million euros in the form of SAFE with American AI and Hardware Investments LTD, supporting its growth in blockchain technology and hardware to drive innovation in the tech sector. With over 130 years of history and innovation, METAVISIO – THOMSON Computing, a French company, has established itself as a trusted global brand, producing a wide range of consumer electronics products, including televisions, audio devices/ video and telephones.
