Countdown to SBEA+ Summit 2025 begins in three weeks
Countdown on! Only three weeks left until the 10th Annual Sports Betting East Africa+ Summit, happening on May 20-21, 2025, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This highly-anticipated event gathers C-level execs and regional leaders to share valuable insights and shape the future of the gaming industry.
Before the epic reunion, Eventus International chatted with Peter Mshikilwa Mukandi, President of the Esports Federation of Tanzania. During this chat, they discussed the explosive growth of esports within the betting ecosystem.
"Esports is more than just playing games; it embodies various crucial skills, such as digital literacy and ICT, critical thinking, problem solving, entrepreneurship, content creation, and opportunities that extend beyond the gaming world."
Mukandi highlighted the growing demand for infrastructure like gaming hubs, internet cafes, and dedicated trading centers. This governs the increase in popularity of influencer marketing, powered by gamers and streamers.
As Africa's population, especially its youth, continues to thrive, the esports sector gains prominence. This, according to Mukandi, necessitates ensuring access to resources for talent development and sponsorships to empower the youth in this rapidly growing field.
Mukandi will delve deeper into esports and youth empowerment at the SBEA+ Summit 2025. He'll discuss ways the gaming industry can benefit from this growing vertical.
