Leading esports consultancy KALM launches global HQ in Abu Dhabi.

KALM has established its global headquarters in Abu Dhabi, anchoring a new institutional model for esports and sport across the GCC and wider MENA region. The launch is supported by Access Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office.

Why Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi has emerged as a regional centre for esports investment, governance, and infrastructure. The Emirate's commitment to youth development, athlete welfare, and ecosystem-building made it a natural base for KALM's institutional consultancy model — combining medical, legal, performance-science, and strategic expertise in a single operating layer for governments, federations, and education partners.

What KALM brings

KALM's leadership combines decades of work across elite sport, esports, athlete protection, and policy. The firm advises on national esports strategy, federation governance, talent identification, athlete development, NIL and player protection, and integrated performance infrastructure — across both traditional sport and esports.

Press coverage

The launch was covered across regional and international press, including Zawya, Al Etihad, Al Bawaba, Adgully, Hipther, TradingView, and Esports Connect. Both English and Arabic press releases are available on request.
