Incap has always supported talent growth, especially when it comes to smart young people. To engage this next generation of talent, an esports tournament was chosen as a format that offers a way to connect with students and promote interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and engineering fields in general. By combining the energy of competitive gaming with a focus on teamwork, strategy, and innovation, the ‘Incap Legends’ competition aims to open doors for young people to explore the world of electronics and technology.

“We believe in staying ahead of the curve. Esports is more than entertainment – it’s a fast-paced, strategic, and collaborative environment that helps develop skills that are also essential in engineering and electronics,” said Otto Pukk, President and CEO of Incap Corporation. “Through ‘Incap Legends’, we hope to spark curiosity and build new pathways into our industry, helping students discover career opportunities in technology and engineering.”

The tournament is organised in collaboration with Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG), Staffordshire’s leading General Further Education College. Known for its strong esports programme, experienced specialists, and state-of-the-art facilities, NSCG has a solid track record in delivering professional-level competitions in collaboration with schools, industry partners, and youth organisations. As a trusted partner, the college brings the expertise needed to deliver a high-quality and engaging tournament.

“We’re proud to be working with Incap on this tournament, which gives students a chance to apply their skills in a real competitive environment and connect with the wider world of technology,” said Robin Tankard, Lecturer and Esports Course Leader at NSCG. “It’s opportunities like this that show how esports can bridge the gap between education and industry in meaningful ways.”

Over the years, NSCG has continued to grow its presence in the esports space, providing students with access to real-world opportunities through competitive events and industry collaboration.

Additional support for the initiative comes from students at Tallinn Secondary School No. 32 (Tallinna 32. Keskkool), who are contributing to the project as part of their economics studies.
