Since 2023, our Network serves as a platform for dialogue, cooperation, and knowledge exchange among public funders. We meet regularly around key industry events (Gamescom, Nordic Games, Reboot Develop blue, Games Ground Berlin…) and organize dedicated meetings to share best practices, compare funding structures, and discuss key topics shaping the sector— from support for independent developers to sustainability and long-term industry resilience.
Through internal exchanges, public panels, and collaborative initiatives, we aim to strengthen mutual understanding of how public funding contributes to the growth, diversity, and international visibility of videogame creation across Europe, while continuously improving the effectiveness and transparency of our support mechanisms.
