Saad Hameed, CEO of Game District said that the Gaming Growth Lab Pakistan 2022 was indeed one of the most insightful programs that we have attended so far in Game District. “We have learnt a lot of information covering all the domains of the mobile gaming industry, from basics to advance. We have optimized our games' performance by implementing all the intuitive knowledge that we learnt from this program”, he added.
The program is built around four core pillars: build, develop, launch, and scale. Participants will learn from Google experts in Ads, AdMob, Firebase, gTech, Play, and industry leaders. The initiative follows the launch of the Gaming Growth Lab in Pakistan last year and the company's commitment to helping grow Pakistan's app industry.

The ‘develop’ component would bring a user-centric mindset to the app and game product development and leverage best-in-class technology to set your app up for long-term success. The ‘launch’ component would help participants learn about strategies to win the launch, set up monetization models, and maximize Google's tools for data to achieve measurable growth. The ‘scale component' would provide participants with the knowledge of opening their app to the world by leveraging market and platform diversification strategies.
