Question
Will the Minister provide an update on what action the Welsh Government is taking to encourage major e-Sports events to be hosted in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Economy
We are in discussions with Esports Wales (the Welsh Esports Federation) regarding the opportunity to develop or host an Esport event in Wales.
We are aware of the potential of the E-sports sector. ESports Wales has recently been awarded further funding for research and development via the media.cymru programme, which is supported by Welsh Government, and we continue to discuss potential future projects with E-sports Wales.
