GwangjuCityInnovates

E-sports are a revolutionary industry that continues to grow in popularity worldwide, and they provide an exciting platform for teaching entrepreneurship. Over the last few years, the rapid growth of e-sports has been fueled by increased interest among players, teams, and back-office businesses. With that in mind, it is increasingly essential for educators to integrate the concept of entrepreneurship into their e-sports curriculum. ICSB is proud to announce, with our partnership with Gwangju City, that we will be adding e-sports into our World Congress Academy Program and hope it can be used to teach entrepreneurship, from exploring the industry landscape to developing strategies for success.

Gwangju City has also, with ESTV, decided to form a working council and jointly host world e-sports competitions, nurture, and exchange e-sports professionals, promote amateur e-sports competitions, and foster game developers.

Gwangju City and ESTV plan to hold a Korea-US esports university competition in connection with the ICSB World Congress to be held at the Kimdaejung Convention Center in July, as well as to co-host a world esports competition. You can click here to learn more about the new partnership.
