The first paragraph discusses Emmanuel Macron’s support for e-sports and its economic sector. The government is considering supporting the sector despite concerns regarding the regulation of social media, AI, and violent video games for minors.
A future plan involves integrating e-sports into educational programs. This move is part of the broader strategy named “E-sport 2026-2030” validated by Matignon after inter-ministerial consultations.
The strategy emphasizes incorporating e-sports into school curricula with initiatives like creating partnerships between educational institutions and e-sports entities to develop innovative educational projects. It also includes a national program to raise awareness among youth about career opportunities and ethical issues related to e-sports.
The second section highlights the government’s goal to promote and regulate e-sports for economic development, aiming to tap into a potential 12 billion euro global market by 2030. However, concerns were raised as the strategy was finalized without the involvement of key stakeholders like the Ministry of Health and Mildeca, who oppose integrating e-sports in schools due to risks associated with excessive gaming.
