Gaming and technology hub: Part II
The results of the competition for the architectural concept for the 2. phase of the Gaming and Technology Hub were announced. Out of the 5 submitted projects, the competition jury selected three.

The facility will primarily include technological spaces for e-sports which can also be used as television and film studios.
