On May 24, at BEYOND Expo 2025 in Macao, NIP Group CEO Mario Ho took the stage to share his perspectives on the evolution of the esports industry.
As the global esports industry recovers from a period of downturn, Ho said he sees the so-called “esports winter” not as a crisis, but as a necessary phase of transformation.
NIP, a Nasdaq-listed international esports group, is leveraging this moment to diversify its ecosystem and accelerate its global strategy, he added.
Betting on the Middle East: esports’ new frontierNIP is aggressively expanding into the Middle East, a region Ho says is rich in capital and government support.
Building world-class teams: a faster clockAsked how long it would take to build a top-tier esports team in the Middle East, Ho was confident: “Esports moves much faster than traditional sports.
