In a strategic move to bolster the burgeoning gaming landscape, the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has announced its support for Tamatem Games, a leading Arabic mobile games publisher, in relocating its headquarters to Abu Dhabi. This step is poised to propel Tamatem Games into its next phase of growth while fortifying the Emirate’s gaming ecosystem.
Abu Dhabi boasts a thriving gaming sector with over 70 content-creating companies. ADIO, aligning with Abu Dhabi’s innovation and technology thrust, endeavors to nurture this ecosystem through strategic partnerships. Recently, ADIO collaborated with Ubisoft, a global gaming giant renowned for its diverse gaming portfolio spanning consoles, PCs, and mobile platforms.
ADIO’s support encompasses facilitating growth through setup enablement, fostering connections within the Abu Dhabi ecosystem, and tapping into international trade opportunities.
Badr Al-Olama, Director General of ADIO, emphasized, “With an enabling environment, world-class ICT infrastructure and a vast pool of skilled talent, Abu Dhabi is becoming a global destination for the brightest minds in technology and design in the wider region. This is evident especially in sectors such as gaming, in which Abu Dhabi is steadily building an epicentre for developers, publishers and the industry’s top talent. Our collaboration with global leaders in the sector adds further depth to this growing and exciting ecosystem, and it also enables us to nurture the growth of Arabic content games from Abu Dhabi.”
Specializing in culturally relevant Arabic games, Tamatem Games boasts a diverse portfolio with over 50 games and 150 million downloads. Through its partnership with ADIO, the company seeks to establish a center of excellence in Abu Dhabi, contributing to the region’s ambition to become an e-gaming hub. The move underscores Abu Dhabi’s status as the largest gaming community in the region.
Hussam Hammo, CEO of Tamatem Games, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to choose Abu Dhabi as our strategic partner for growth and innovation. This expansion marks an exciting phase for Tamatem Games as we extend our reach and elevate our games to new horizons. With Abu Dhabi’s dynamic ecosystem and commitment to nurturing talent, we are confident in our ability to make a lasting impact on the global gaming landscape.”
