Let’s face it, the games industry is going through some pretty rough times. Studio closings and rounds of lay-offs are now a common practice globally. And unfortunately, the Netherlands is no exception to this trend.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Many game companies are actually thriving and wondering on how to best grow and seize all the opportunities. New studios are still being founded all the time. And although being more critical, investors are still funding studios to help grow their game project or whole company. The industry always went through waves, the next (investment) boom might be just around the corner, so better be ready for it…!

Upon frequent request from our members, the Dutch Games Association is therefore organizing a DGA Talks about growing and professionalising your game studio.

Join Breda Game City Drinks, a recurring local networking and social get-together hosted by Breda Game City.

Hosted by the IGDA Game Accessibility SIG group, this is a special interest group of the International Game Developers Association that provides accessibility awareness and promotes the development of games.
