MDM Expands Funding Opportunities for Game Studios in Central Germany
The Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM, Central German Media Funding) has launched its first dedicated funding guideline for games, which has been approved by the European Commission and will take effect at the start of the new year. This marks a significant boost for studios based in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia.
The announcement was made during MDM’s end-of-year reception in Leipzig, bringing good news to the games industry across the three federal states. This is the first funding guideline specifically tailored for games, officially adopted and notified by the European Commission. Until now, games were supported by the MDM through a different program together with XR projects. The funding guideline will come into effect on January 1, 2025.
