The discussion focused on “The Future of Esports: Youth Opportunity, Digital Skills and Kenya's Role in the Global Esports Space.”

Sir Paul shared insights on the growing opportunities within the esports industry and the importance of equipping young people with the digital skills, creativity and entrepreneurial mindset needed to participate in the rapidly evolving global digital economy.

CUEA's contribution to Kenya's esports landscape was also evident, with the University having nurtured leading esports talent, including Sylvia Gathoni, popularly known as Queen Arrow, who was among those present during the engagement.
