Celebrating 20 years of supporting Hamburg's games industry!
Founded in 2003, Gamecity Hamburg was the first public funding institution for the games industry at the state level in Germany. We celebrated 20 years of accompanying studios, publishers, and game devs with events, funding, and support. As a special event, the Senate Reception "20 years of Gamecity Hamburg" was held at Hamburg City Hall on April 20. Find the photos in the gallery.
