Dubai: Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy has hosted the seventh episode of a series of digital industry workshops focusing on the gaming sector.
The sector-specific workshop was attended by leading players in the gaming sector who discussed the opportunities and challenges the sector faces.
The workshop series offers a platform for key players, start-ups, investors and interested parties to discuss the state of the sector and help create a framework for future success.
With an affluent, youthful and gaming savvy population, the opportunities for local, global and regional game developers is incredible. We need to work fast, decisively and intelligently to create the right environment for all gaming sector companies to thrive. There’s no reason why Dubai cannot become a regional, if not global, gaming industry hub.
Mr. Ahmad bin Byat, Vice Chairman of Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, shared
“We need to gain a holistic understanding of the gaming sector, working closely together to ensure that current government policies, initiatives and strategies promote innovation and business friendliness for gaming companies,” Mr. Byat added.
The Vice Chairman remarked that the Chamber is working to create a business environment that supports gaming sector, stressing that the role of the Chamber is purely to act in support of digital industries, to help promote a well-organised, well-regulated and professional work environment for the ever-growing digital sector.
Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy will organise regular workshops in the future with key gaming industry players, to make sure gaming plays a significant role in the emerging digital economy, and to track progress of the discussions, ideas and initiatives raised at the workshop.
In addition, the Chamber is committed to involving all relevant parties in building a clear sector roadmap and assisting in finding solutions to any challenges discussed. Furthermore, it plays an important role in engaging stakeholders from various digital sectors to promote an environment conducive to growth of the digital economy.
