Xsolla Promotes Women’s Leadership In Global Gaming Industry
KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 (Bernama) -- Xsolla has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting women across the global gaming ecosystem through curated community initiatives, industry events, and thought leadership platforms in key growth markets, including Türkiye, Dubai, and Cyprus.
“By fostering mentorship, creating visible role models, and building meaningful connections between regional talent and global networks, Xsolla helps create real pathways for the next generation of women entering the industry.
“A more inclusive ecosystem drives stronger innovation, better decision-making, and long-term growth for the entire ecosystem,” said Xsolla Vice President of Business Development EMEA, Ilayda Bayari in a statement.
As the gaming industry continues to expand across emerging and high-growth markets, Xsolla is focused on empowering developers globally by fostering an inclusive ecosystem that provides women founders, studio leaders, publishers, and entrepreneurs with greater access to visibility, networks, and opportunities.
Through targeted industry gatherings and community-led discussions, Xsolla has also supported conversations around women in leadership in gaming. Recently, the company hosted an event in Dubai that brought together women founders and senior leaders from across the Middle East and neighbouring markets.
In 2025, Xsolla co-organised the Women in Games Cyprus conference, which gathered more than 70 senior leaders for panels, roundtables and workshops designed to help women and allies connect, collaborate and grow professionally and personally.
With a rapidly growing gaming ecosystem that generated US$1.01 billion in revenue in 2025, Türkiye represents another key focus market. Xsolla sees significant opportunities to support the market by connecting regional talent to the global gaming industry through its international network and sector expertise. (US$1=RM3.95)
Xsolla aims to increase visibility for women leaders and founders in gaming, encourage mentorship and peer-to-peer collaboration, facilitate cross-border connections between regional studios and global markets, and support sustainable growth across emerging gaming hubs.
