First edition brings together developers, studios and creatives

On June 13, 2025, the first edition of Games Syndicate Cologne CONNECT took place, our new networking format for developers, studios, creatives, sponsors and everyone who wants to promote games in Cologne and NRW. Together with many committed guests, the evening was all about networking, exchanging ideas and the question of how we can make games development in Cologne even more visible.

CONNECT was created to bring together people who want to make a difference together. Whether experienced studios, start-ups or educational institutions, everyone had the opportunity to make new contacts, start collaborations and share ideas.

Special thanks go to KölnBusiness for their support and OverTake.gg for the hospitality in their premises. The response has shown: The games industry in Cologne is growing and CONNECT is the place where it comes together.
