Turki Faisal, Chairman and CEO of Hawk Gaming Group, comments
Hawk Gaming Group believes that gamers are the driving force of the future economy and are at the center of innovation, culture and growth. We aim to serve as a bridge between regions and industries, and through our partnership with GLOE, we aim to maximize the potential of great Japanese content and talent and develop it in the Saudi Arabian as well as global market. Together, we will create new economic opportunities, accelerate industry collaboration, and contribute to the realization of "Vision 2030".
Comments from Akihito Furusawa, President of GLOE Corporation
While there are many excellent game contents in Japan, they have not been localized, culturalized, and recognized enough in the Middle East region. Saudi Arabia is attracting an unprecedented amount of resources from around the world, especially in the global e-sports market. We will take this opportunity to support the promotion and sales expansion of Japanese gaming content with Hawk Gaiming Group in the Middle East region.
