Gosu Academy, the global leader in esports coaching and education, announced its expansion into the UAE.
Gosu said its mission is to empower individuals through exceptional education in gaming and esports, supporting the UAE’s ambition to become a global esports hub.
The coaching and education major said it is expanding into the UAE to take advantage of the nation’s dynamic gaming community and its progressive esports initiatives.
Having trained more than 14,000 students globally, the academy’s expansion to the UAE marks a pivotal step in its global growth strategy.
It has already established a footprint in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia.
F. Javier Bernal, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Gosu Academy said the UAE market presents tremendous opportunities, and the Academy is eager to enhance the region’s fast-developing esports landscape.
“In line with the Dubai government’s focus on this sector and the vision of the Dubai Programme for Gaming (DPG) 2033, which aims to create jobs and bolster innovation, we strongly believe that Gosu Academy, through our expertise, can contribute significantly to this initiative,” he said.
Bernal said Abu Dhabi’s ambitious project to build an esports island reflects its distinct approach, focusing on creating a dedicated hub for global esports events and immersive gaming experiences.
“We aspire to cultivate a new wave of gaming and esports experts in the UAE, establishing the nation as a frontier in this sector, with both Abu Dhabi and Dubai playing complementary roles in driving the future of esports,” he said.
The company’s entry into the region comes at an opportune time, as the gaming industry is poised to contribute over $1 billion to Dubai’s GDP by 2033, with an estimated 30,000 jobs to be created.
Established by seasoned professionals with over twenty years of expertise, Gosu Academy started its journey in the United States and Europe before expanding to Asia.
Gosu Academy offers personalised coaching, live online sessions, and a flexible learning platform that creates a strong gaming community in terms of its B2C operations.
The company has also partnered with esports organisations and B2B organisations like federations and schools to train the next generation of pro players, help gaming enthusiasts start a career in esports, and make professional esports education accessible to all through their platform and training tools.
