Global IT company Mitgo has launched Mitgame, a specialized network for games and online gaming services. Mitgame was formed by creating a separate company from the online gaming segment of the Admitad network, which is also a Mitgo-owned company.

Over the last 12 months, revenue across the Admitad network grew by over 50%. After this period of rapid growth, it was decided to launch Mitgame as a separate entity with a special focus on the online gaming market.

Mitgame will target client, browser, and console games, and the newly-formed network already has more than 200,000 publishers, 100+ game brands, and over 500,000 active players. Current partnerships include Epic Games, Perfect World, Plarium, MY.GAMES, Wargaming, Gaijin, Nexters, Innogames, and Upjers. The company also has a solid track record of cooperating with industry leaders like PlayStation, Xbox, and Riot Games.

The MENA region will be a key market for Mitgame. In the first half of 2023, MENA player acquisitions and purchases increased by 64%, and over the next 12 months, the network plans to have built partnerships with up to 80 MENA gaming brands and 5,000 publishers.

“Mitgame has evolved into a very gaming-focused business. Being part of Mitgo will allow Mitgame to benefit from all the services and partner networking opportunities the company offers. This is part of our core strategy to broaden and diversify the business into successful, global market segments,” said Alexander Bachmann, CEO and Founder of Mitgo.

Mitgo also has plans to invest over $9 million into the ongoing development of Mitgame before 2025, which should help establish the network as a global market leader.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
