Savvy Games Group partnered with HP to equip Saudi learners with the skills needed for successful careers in the games and esports industries. Under the collaboration, Savvy will help promote the internationally renowned HP Gaming Garage, HP’s Esports Management and Game Development Academy in Saudi Arabia, by working with universities and helping expand the usage of relevant game development and esports management educational content for learners who aspire to have a career in esports and gaming. In addition, Savvy and HP will work together to organize various competitions and game jams aimed at engaging with students and raising awareness of games professions as career choices. Savvy intends to use these platforms to create and offer more opportunities for students to further hone their professional skills in game development through incubator programs that are applicable and available.
