Telenor Pakistan's digital startup accelerator programme, Telenor Velocity, signed a contract with Google to launch its first ever gaming cohort aimed at accelerating the game developers. Game Launcher is a programme for top indie game studios which are looking to build, scale and monetise best-in-class mobile games.
Like most developing technology areas, game development requires learning and mentoring. To bridge the gap, Telenor Pakistan has joined hands with Google to bring in the world's top gaming gurus to speak and mentor at game development workshops. Most of these training sessions will be held at Telenor Pakistan Campus 345 which serves as an innovation hub and has been recognised for its enabling and inclusive working environment.
There will be four workshops hosted by Telenor Velocity's Game Launcher in which gurus from Google and global gaming industry will educate Velocity's gaming cohort on how to develop games and monetise them. Telenor Velocity and Google are targeting Pakistan's aspiring and upcoming game developers to uplift their skills and bring the next multi-million dollar games from Pakistan.
"We at Telenor Pakistan have been at the forefront of bringing technological interventions and innovative solutions for various segments of the society. This collaboration with Google to enable the game developers and enthusiasts in the country is a testament to our commitment to provide best in class solutions and platforms to our people," said Irfan Wahab Khan, CEO Telenor Pakistan and Head of Emerging Asia Cluster.
