Why the Invest Circle Has Become a Permanent Industry Landmark

 

With over 80 international investors on-site and more than 200 applications for a pitch slot, the gamescom Invest Circlehas clearly demonstrated its significance for the games industry. This is where ideas meet capital and visions meet experience, providing the very foundation for the next big success stories.

As a partner of this year’s Invest Circle, we at Games Syndicate Cologne were able to play our part in connecting studios and startups with experienced investors. Especially in Germany, access to capital is a decisive factor in remaining internationally competitive. This makes formats that create visibility and build targeted bridges between creators and financiers all the more vital.

We were particularly pleased to have the opportunity to present our initiative to an international audience during our own dedicated panel. A heartfelt thank you goes to Stephan Reichart and the devcom team for the collaboration and the valuable impulses provided.

One thing is certain: The gamescom Invest Circle is growing, and with it, the future of the games industry, right here in Cologne.
