Our first Knowledge Nugget of 2026 and our key takeaways.
On April 16, 2026, we hosted our first Knowledge Nugget of the year and this time, everything revolved around one of the most exciting yet complex markets in the games industry: Japan.
A huge thank you to Matias Sanchez Elsner, who provided us with deep insights into the Japanese gaming landscape. From the key market players to the nuances of negotiation processes, it became clear how differently companies in Japan operate and which legal strategies are crucial for a successful market entry.
For us at Games Syndicate, it is always impressive to see how much the framework conditions within our industry vary by region. This session wasn’t just about facts and figures; it was primarily about gaining a better understanding of a different business culture and new perspectives on international collaboration.
A big thank you to all participants for the engaging exchange and the many questions. We would also like to thank STARTPLATZ for providing the venue and supporting the realization of this format.
