Savvy Games Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HP to develop initiatives that will equip learners in Saudi Arabia with skills for careers in games and esports.
Savvy said it will support HP’s Gaming Garage, Esports Management, and Game Development Academy in Saudi Arabia. It will achieve this by collaborating with universities and expanding access to educational content for aspiring gaming and esports professionals.
The MoU will see both Savvy and HP organise competitions and game jams to engage students and promote careers in gaming. Savvy said it will also use these platforms to provide skill-building opportunities through incubator programs.
Opportunities for the younger generation
“We look forward to bringing these initiatives to life and creating tangible, positive outcomes for thousands of Saudi students who want to pursue a career in the games and esports sector,” said Savvy Games Group chief human resource officer Majed Al-Muhanna.
He added: “Enabling these kinds of opportunities for the younger generation is an essential part of building a robust games and esports ecosystem, that grows sustainably and continues to thrive in the long term, as envisioned in the National Gaming and Esports Strategy.
“We are very pleased to work together on this endeavor with HP, who bring a wealth of experience and expertise for our joint initiatives, and shares our commitment to help develop the games and esports sector.”
HP managing director in the KSA Fadle Saad added: “Our collaboration with Savvy marks an important step in further expanding the HP Gaming Garage program to Saudi Arabia, providing learners with world-class education in game design, coding and esports management and hands-on experiences.
“This partnership supports Saudi Vision 2030’s goal of establishing the Kingdom as a global leader in games and esports, driving innovation, nurturing talent, and fueling economic growth in this dynamic sector.”
