Competitive Games International, Inc (PINKSHEETS: CGMI), an innovative and interactive media company, today announced the official opening of its Asian Pacific operations with divisional headquarters in Shanghai, China. The strategic decision to expand corporate offices to the Asian Pacific market was determined by several key factors, including the ability to better service multi-national clients, greater ability to capitalize on the burgeoning games industry in the Asian region, and increased exposure and brand recognition of Competitive Games International. China, with more than 137 million active Internet users, has the second largest online user base in the world, second only to the United States. With over 31 million Chinese Internet users engaging in some form of online video game play, China is expected to be home to a $2.1 billion game industry by 2010, according to research and consultancy firm Niko Partners. Moreover, the region has emerged as a leader in the outsourcing of games and game assets. Competitive Games will seek to expand its inventory of online Skill Games by focusing on games developed, deployed, and marketed in the region. Julio Collado, the chief executive officer of Competitive Games International, stated, "The cornerstone of the company's growth strategy is our ongoing commitment to internationalize the business. Plans to expand into new markets have always been part of our business plan and we are now decisively acting on this. I believe that our evolving worldwide focus along with other emerging catalysts will bode well for the Company's future growth."
