Baden-Württemberg Increases State Funding for Games
The state of Baden-Württemberg is increasing its funding for games to a total of 1.2 million Euros. Minister Dr Hoffmeister-Kraut believes that gaming technologies are used in all sectors of the economy, far beyond the entertainment sector.
The volume of funding available for Games in Baden-Württemberg will increase again in 2024 when the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism (Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Tourismus) joins the programme. Together with funding from the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts (Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst), a total of 1.2 million Euros will be available for the Games BW funding programme in 2024, 100,000 Euros more than in the previous year. MFG Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg is responsible for games funding in the federal state under the name "Games BW".
