Dubai’s DMCC opens a gaming center to capitalize on the $1.8 billion gaming business

The AED 1.8 billion gaming market in the region, which is predicted to grow to $5 billion by 2025, has been tapped by Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) by opening its own gaming center.
DMCC, located in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), said it is currently home to 50 gaming companies, including developers and producers, as well as e-sports teams and tournament organizers, and is seeking to attract more. 
Companies registered under the DMCC Gaming Centre will have access to the wider e-sports community through regular events and tournaments, as well as industry support from YaLLa Esports, the free zone said. 
“Members will [also] have the opportunity to join gaming specific acceleration and market entry programmes through our ecosystem partner, AstroLabs, a leading tech ecosystem builder in the MENA region,” DMCC said in a statement.
