MENATech’s mission goes beyond organizing tournaments—it’s about building a full-fledged ecosystem. The company works hand-in-hand with regional governments, including those of the UAE and Saudi Arabia, to align its efforts with national visions such as Dubai Gaming 2033 and Saudi Vision 2030. These collaborations ensure the development of sustainable programs that fuel the long-term growth of the industry.
By integrating educational initiatives, infrastructure investment, and large-scale events, MENATech is laying the foundation for an esports economy that nurtures talent, supports innovation, and creates new employment opportunities in the region.
At the heart of MENATech’s strategy is UNIVERSITY Esports, a unique program that gives college and university students across the Middle East access to competitive gaming opportunities. Students can compete in international titles such as League of Legends, VALORANT, and Rocket League, while also gaining exposure to educational content that prepares them for potential careers in game design, production, marketing, and IT.
These tournaments not only create a pipeline for new talent but also serve as platforms to identify future game developers, analysts, and esports professionals from the region.
MENATech has also introduced the GAMERGY brand—one of the world’s leading esports and gaming festivals—to the Middle East. The first MENA edition, hosted in Cairo, was a major success, attracting thousands of participants and viewers. Plans are now in motion to expand GAMERGY to Dubai and Saudi Arabia, where fans can expect top-tier tournaments, interactive booths, celebrity gamers, cosplay, and more.
This move positions Dubai not just as a participant in the gaming world but as a host city for elite global esports events, attracting tourism, investment, and media attention.
MENATech’s approach is comprehensive. By developing esports from grassroots to professional levels, the company is helping generate a variety of job roles, including:
This influx of opportunities aligns perfectly with Dubai’s broader vision of becoming a global digital hub.
With government support, a youthful and tech-savvy population, and growing digital infrastructure, Dubai is perfectly positioned to become a central player in the international esports arena. MENATech’s efforts are catalyzing this shift, offering a structured roadmap for how cities in the region can leverage gaming not just as entertainment—but as a driver of economic growth, education, and innovation.
The rise of MENATech in the Middle East signifies more than just the expansion of esports—it marks the beginning of a cultural and economic movement. Dubai is no longer watching the global gaming revolution from the sidelines; it's becoming one of its key players.
With continued investments in talent, infrastructure, and innovation, MENATech is ensuring that the future of gaming in the Middle East is bright, inclusive, and globally competitive.
