Working with what we love, esports
Become part of our story
We are Abios, a Stockholm-based esports company gathering, enriching and distributing engaging data and statistics. We help our partners distribute their data assets and our customers leverage data to push the envelope with their products and apps, and let their users dig into data from where the action is!
Abios was founded in the dawn of esports, with a mission to facilitate and enrich the esports experience. Since the beginning, we have put a lot of effort into providing accurate data about matches, tournaments, and teams within the esports scene. Our first endeavour was a community and consumer product, but the demand for engaging data grew amongst other businesses over time. This became the start of a new chapter for Abios.
As 2015 came to an end, we shifted our focus from consumer products to B2B sales of data. We now proudly work with several world-leading esports and gaming brands, ranging from news sites and search engines to sportsbooks and esports teams. Through our partners we make data and content available to millions of unique esports users every month, powering tens of millions of page views with captivating content.
What we do
We provide industry-leading esports data and technology to customers across the globe. By collecting and supplying everything from team and player history to live scores, Abios helps many established and growing companies improve their products.
At the same time, we help our data partners distribute and monetise their data.
As a result, Abios contributes to the entirety of esports by improving the overall accessibility of information and data for the esports viewers. We provide the building blocks to help the esports industry grow.
