Veikkaus and Fandom eSports—Global showcase opportunity This is where Holm’s heritage and big resume comes into play.
The Fandom eSports concept is bold and a new paradigm in social media will be created exclusively for eSports superfans.
Veikkhaus is cash rich as they have a gambling monopoly in Finland.
They could potentially give Fandom eSports all the money they need to launch the global eSports platform.
What I really like about this Innovation Challenge is that it puts Fandom eSports in an eSports bullseye with the potential for them to get a lot of valuable partnerships.

Veikkaus is also jointly organising an Innovation Challenge Week with a company called Avanto Ventures, during which eight to 10 startup companies will explore what new esports solutions they could generate in cooperation with Veikkaus.
VP of Business Development and Innovation at Veikkaus, Heidi Ioannidou said: “We want to find the best ideas in the world, as well as the best partners with whom to bring those ideas to life. We believe that such a partner could well be found in the esports and startup world. At the same time, we can offer startups an opportunity to bring their ideas to market.”
The aim of the Challenge Week is not to create actual games, but rather services or solutions related to those games.
“This could mean, for example, an esports product, service, or platform. The goal is to produce innovative solutions for esports players, teams, or fans,” Ms Ioannidou added. “Esports is immensely popular at the moment. It is the fifth most popular game in pre-match betting and the fourth most popular in live betting at Veikkaus. We believe that the world of esports can generate ideas that Veikkaus can benefit from in its own business. We want to learn from the world of players in order to be able to provide the best possible gaming experiences.”
