UDIT becomes a sponsor of the national esports team

The University of Design and Technology (UDIT) becomes a sponsor of the Spanish esports team of Fejuves and will accompany the national team in its international competitions during 2023.

This morning the collaboration agreement between UDIT, University of Design and Technology, and FEJUVES (Spanish Federation of Video Game and Esports Players) has been presented, by which UDIT becomes the official sponsor of the Esports National Team.

This agreement is the result of a solid and successful collaboration in which both parties have worked together to develop research projects that highlight the positive aspects of video games and the job opportunities they generate in the industry.

This announcement strengthens UDIT's commitment to promoting the use of video games among its university community and consolidates its position as a key player on a national and international level, because thanks to this alliance it will be able to foster the creation of university teams and competitions, the development of specialised training programmes and the organisation of events and conferences that promote the exchange of knowledge around esports.

Thanks to this agreement, UDIT will be present on the uniforms of the national esports team and joins Movistar, Joma and G100.

The Official University Degree in Design and Development of Video Games and Virtual Environments at UDIT works to respond to the specific needs of video games considered esports and to train professionals capable of facing the challenges of this industry. By addressing key areas such as design, scalability, performance, social interaction and community, as well as aesthetics, art and monetisation and business models, UDIT ensures that its graduates will be well prepared to contribute to the success and growth of the industry.

"We are excited about this sponsorship agreement, as it allows us to continue working hand in hand with FEJUVES in the promotion and growth of the esports sector in Spain. It also gives us the opportunity to promote talent and innovation in our university community, positioning us as a benchmark in the design and development of video games and virtual environments," says David Alonso, Directorof the Official University Degree in Design and Development of Video Games and Virtual Environments at UDIT.

On behalf of FEJUVES, its secretary has indicated that "The Federation has a great commitment to training, education and the development of young talent, which is exactly the work that UDIT develops. We are proud to be able to count on a reference entity in the generation of highly qualified professionals".

UDIT has an esports team and, among its students is Oscar "Wazo", who has been a professional Rainbow Six Siege player and, thanks to this sponsorship, reaffirms its commitment to the gaming and video games sector. In fact, the Degree in Design and Development of Video Games and Virtual Environments at UDIT celebrates thirteen years of existence in 2023 and was the first official degree in this subject in Spain.
