Linyi launches esports month and first workers' esports contest

Linyi in East China's Shandong province launched its esports month and opened the first workers' esports contest on Nov 10 in the Linyi High-tech Zone, under the theme "Youth Appointment · Esports Shines on Langya".

The contest runs four days with 67 teams and 409 worker contestants. At the opening ceremony, four esports industry projects were signed collectively, a "tour Linyi with the games" premium travel route was launched, and an initiative to jointly promote the city's esports industry was released.

Esports has grown into an emerging digital industry cluster covering intelligent equipment manufacturing, digital content innovation and full-chain event operation — new momentum for the digital economy and a new track of the youth economy, as the report puts it. The municipal Party committee and government have issued a three-year action plan to promote the esports industry, seeking to seize the window of digital industry development and the shift in youth consumption.
