Capcom Singapore has announced an official collaboration with Mapúa University, one of the Philippines’ leading institutions in engineering and technology, and Prime Manpower, a global leader in workforce and education solutions.
The three organizations will work together to develop an innovative educational program themed around ‘Games, Intellectual Property & Digital Culture.’
This partnership aims to leverage Capcom’s expertise in game business and intellectual property (IP) education cultivated in Japan to create an international model for talent development, starting in the Philippines and extending across the ASEAN region.
Ricky Bian Li, Managing Director of Capcom Singapore Pte. Ltd., emphasized the
significance of the collaboration:
“Capcom has long delivered smiles and excitement to players around the world through our games. Behind this lies a continuous and sophisticated creative process — one that involves generating characters, worlds, game systems, brands, and the intellectual property that underpins them, then refining these elements into valuable assets and integrating them into our business.”
“In recent years, the gaming industry in Southeast Asia has grown rapidly, and in the Philippines in particular, interest in gaming and digital creativity has risen dramatically among younger generations. Against this backdrop, our educational collaboration with Mapúa University represents a highly significant initiative that contributes to nurturing creative talent in the region.”
The initiative will launch with a signing ceremony on 26 January 2026, followed by a special
lecture on 27 January. Through classes, project-based learning (PBL), and internships, the program will nurture creators, engineers, and business professionals for the global gaming industry, while also promoting the study of intellectual property.
