Games Ground 2024 Increases Internationality
Games Ground Berlin became more international this year. For example, Publisher Connect featured many companies from Japan, while Arctic Game brought studios from Sweden.
This year, Games Ground Berlin (GamesMarkt reported) hosted international delegations through partnerships with KölnBusiness (Cologne) and Arctic Game (Sweden). Cologne was Games Ground's first German regional partner, while Arctic Game (Northern Sweden's gaming hub) was the first partnership with Sweden. The visiting teams participated in Games Ground's Publisher Connect programme, which connected them with potential investors and publishers. The Berlin-Japan connection shone through the Publisher Connect matchmaking event, supported by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and organised in collaboration with Spielfabrique, Tugboat Interactive and Japan's iGi Indie Game Incubator and SO-FU programmes. This initiative, supported by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, brought together Berlin and Japanese studios and expanded opportunities for creative and business exchange.
