NJEDA and Stockton University to Launch Esports Innovation Center

G3 Esports participated in the establishment of the recently approved Esports Innovation Center slated for Stockton University this fall.

The esports industry has already taken root and begun to grow in the state, with major players in the esports industry such as G3 Esports, Amazon’s Twitch streaming service and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment making or planning significant investments in the state.

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) Board recently approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Stockton University to support the establishment of an esports Innovation Center at the university’s Atlantic City campus.

The esports Innovation Center will also work with the Division of Gaming Enforcement and independent bodies that govern integrity in competitions to position New Jersey as a national leader in regulation and integrity practices for esports and will promote diversity and inclusion, as well as healthy gaming practices, in the esports industry
