The Arab Youth Centre in Abu Dhabi (AYC), in partnership with the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, one of the three chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, has launched the second edition of Arab Youth Hackathon 2025-2026, which this year focuses on electronic games.

It is the first regional programme designed to empower young Arab developers to create original video games rooted in Arab culture and identity.

Under the theme "Gaming, Powered by Arab Identity", the initiative provides a platform to showcase their talent on the global stage, as the gaming market is projected to reach $600 billion by 2030.

Organised in a strategic partnership with Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, and Games Ventures and in collaboration with Future games, a game development school, the programme aims to cultivate a generation of Arab developers who combine authentic storytelling with modern gaming technologies. It positions the Arab region to make a meaningful contribution to one of the fastest-growing industries worldwide.
