The Korea Association of Game Industry announced on the 16th that it has signed an MOU with the Youth Foundation to foster mutual cooperation and talent development within the gaming and esports sectors.

Specifically, they have agreed to cooperate on joint programs for youth participation in gaming and esports, support for career entry into the industry, and the establishment of a sustainable cooperation system between the youth and the industry.

 

Korea Association of Game Industry Chairman Cho Young-ki stated, "Gaming and esports are core cultural content industries that will drive South Korea’s future," adding, "I hope this agreement serves as a platform of endless possibilities for the youth and a valuable opportunity for the gaming industry to gain fresh ideas and new energy."
