The Game Hub Scandinavia Mixer

Description

From 2019 to 2022, the Game Hub Scandinavia 2.0 project (supported by the Interreg KASK program) has been cooperating with the 8 project partners in order to sustain and grow the Scandinavian games industry through incubation and supporting entrepreneurship, establishing and expanding international networks, and developing incubation- and acceleration models to further grow businesses in the games industry.
The Game Hub Scandinavia 2.0 project was at its end in the Summer of 2022 and organized a final conference day to disseminate many of the project's results, findings, research and their future perspectives on the project's work.

The conference was organized in the heart of Gothenburg (Sweden) and invited Danish, Swedish and Norwegian partners.
Gothenburg (Sweden) hosts a large number of businesses in the creative, digital and visual industries and had an ideal location to pull in most of the Danish/Swedish/Norwegian industry.

The Game Hub Scandinavia project and Sweden Game Arena sponsored the day.
The program contained 4 Talks with both project partners as well as a close industry network, among some we've built up as an industry network throughout the project's duration.

The Game Hub Scandinavia Mixer averaged at 50 participants throughout the day program.
