The DB Esports Scholarship is the centrepiece of the company's gaming strategy. DB has been awarding this scholarship annually in cooperation with the esports player foundation (EPF) since 2022. It is aimed at young professionals at DB InfraGO AG. The skills acquired in esports are particularly beneficial for those working in areas such as train traffic control, track construction, electrical engineering and mechatronics.
