The Gaming Industry in Hamburg Marks Its 20th Anniversary

Project Origins

The government of Hamburg introduced Gamecity to regulate the gambling market. So far, it has achieved excellent results in promoting the city as a perfect area for gaming and betting activities. The local segment involves over 190 firms with 2,500 employees.

The creative team has been working hard for 2 decades to bolster the right status of Hamburg. Many resources have been invested in revealing the city’s potential. This would be impossible without external assistance.

The local studios helped develop a diverse gaming ecosystem:

• Daedalic Entertainment;
• the Applike Group;
• Bytro, etc.

The initiative has successfully grown into a central hub for developers, distributors, and other parties involved. Not only does it provide financial support for the most ambitious ideas, but it also organises several occasions for discussing existing problems.

Gamecity is currently responsible for 2 projects, whose annual support is estimated at €520,000. Apart from this, it arranges special events like Gamecity Treff, which serves as an excellent space for sharing knowledge and experience.

Celebration Plans

Gamecity decided to mark the industry’s anniversary. It shared a video about the primary events that took place throughout the last 2 decades. There was even more action to come.

The state and local gaming companies had a chance to join the meeting in the Senate. That was a great opportunity for them to discuss future projects, namely what can be done to make the market even more prosperous. They will also be able to enjoy a new version of the Gamecity Treff in a few months. Some more events will be announced later on.
