Allied Gaming & Entertainment announced on Monday that it completed the acquisition of Saiju School, a vocational high school founded in 1943 and accredited by Shiga Prefecture as the No. 1 higher vocational school in the region. The school offers a dual‑pathway program that allows students to earn both a high‑school diploma and a vocational qualification within three years, combining academic coursework with hands‑on training.
The acquisition marks Allied’s first entry into Japan’s accredited secondary education system and signals a strategic shift toward talent development. The company plans to transform Saiju School into the Allied International Futuretech Academy, a cutting‑edge institution focused on live‑event production, esports training, content creation, AI, and blockchain applications. By integrating these programs with Allied’s existing esports, mobile gaming, and live‑event assets, the company aims to create a pipeline of skilled professionals who can support its broader entertainment ecosystem.
Owning a majority of the school’s board seats and the authority to appoint its statutory auditor gives Allied full control over the institution’s governance and strategic direction. The move is intended to generate new revenue streams from education services, strengthen the company’s talent pipeline, and reinforce its long‑term roadmap of expanding into new markets such as Dubai and Hainan. The acquisition also positions Allied to leverage its physical venues and digital capabilities to deliver immersive, technology‑driven learning experiences that align with its core business of experiential entertainment.
