THE GAME.EUS ACCELERATOR TEAMS AT GAMESCOM, THE LARGEST EUROPEAN GAMING EVENT

The GAME.EUS accelerator teams had the opportunity to actively attend the largest European gaming event. This is the most important conference in Europe on the potential of video games. The conference, which covers a wide range of topics, shows that video game technologies help to inspire innovation and to dominate digitalisation in almost all economic and social fields.

The video game developers participated as exhibitors on 21, 22 and 23 August in Cologne at the Koelnmesse congress space which has an area of 284,000 m2 in 11 interconnected exhibition halls, more 100.000 m2 of adjacent outdoor area.

His goal was to meet with investors and publishers to present their projects in the gaming world. During the five weeks that the campus lasted, one of the strong points on which the teams worked was in the pitch, a concrete technical speech to develop before investors and capitalists. The deals they were seeking to reach were key to funding their ideas and being able to develop professionally in the video game industry.

SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS AND ENCOURAGING

Gamescom 2024 welcomed more than 335,000 visitors from 120 countries, generating a new international reach record with over 310 million digital interactions. Over 32,000 trade visitors attended, mainly from the USA and Japan, and 1,462 exhibitors from 64 countries were counted, with a foreign share of 71%, 48 national pavilions from 37 countries. Among the exhibitors were the GAME.EUS teams, who exceeded expectations over the course of the event. They met potential investors and publishers who fit their projects, and had to demonstrate their skills in order to be funded by industry experts.

The overall assessment is more than positive. The event has been the best way to close the circle of the GAME.EUS 2024 campus. It has been a great experience to live gamescom and defend your projects, a unique opportunity that will propel you towards future challenges.

NEXT CHALLENGE: INDIEDEVDAY 2024

The largest independent video game fair in Spain will be held on 27, 28 and 29 September at La Farga, Carrer de Barcelona, 2, L Hospitalet de Llobregat, 08901, Barcelona.

All teams will participate in IndieDevDay with their own stand. After first-hand knowledge of an event as important as gamescom, they are prepared for this occasion. They will now be doing a job very similar to that in Cologne but in a more comfortable and familiar environment. Their work will be closely linked to the projects they have developed during the GAME.EUS campus, as they will present the video games they worked on during the weeks that lasted the campus.
