FRANCE REVEALS PLANS FOR A NATIONAL ESPORTS ECOSYSTEM

The Government of France has revealed details surrounding its upcoming esports
strategy, aimed at furthering the country’s involvement in esports. A ‘national
ecosystem’ is being created to support the esports industry and will be revealed
this summer.

The new plan looks to make France more attractive for esports tournament
organisers, game publishers and developers, as well as esports organisations and
other companies. It will also aim to help players secure esports visas and offer
other benefits for the industry.

The strategy was created by a work group, and presented by Amélie Oudéa-Castéra,
Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Jean-Noël Barrot,
Deputy Minister for Digital Transition and Telecommunications. The strategy will
be made in motion by three connected departments of the French Government; the
Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Sports.

The new strategy is directly connected to the plan the President of France
Emanuel Macron announced in 2022, which intends to make France a “great esports
nation.” To do so, France wants to collaborate more closely with key
shareholders in the esports industry, including tournament organisers, teams and
other esports companies. Representatives of the Government are already working
with the likes of BLAST on the upcoming Paris Major in CS:GO.

One of the key ideas is the creation of esports visas for players and talent
working in esports. This will improve the capability of French esports teams to
hire international players and talent, and further help France become more
attractive to international esports companies.

Esports Insider has teamed up with the University of Warwick for ESI Next Gen.

The Government outlined some of the key objectives for the work group. First is
the structuring of the esports ecosystem, followed by more support for amateur
and grassroots esports associations in France. The Government also intends to
further strengthen the capacity of the French esports ecosystem to host major
international esports events, and to host the Olympic Esports Week in France at
the end of 2024.

The Esports Week is set to take place after the 2024 Paris Olympics, and further
popularise esports with international audiences. The inaugural edition of
Olympic Esports Week is set to take place in Singapore this June.
