gamecity:Hamburg mit erfolgreichem Messeauftritt auf der gamescom 2019

Sieben Hamburger Unternehmen und Start-ups präsentierten sich auf dem gamecity:Hamburg Gemeinschaftsstand auf der gamescom 2019. Mehr als 500 Gäste begrüßte gamecity:Hamburg bei zwei Events am vergangenen Dienstag – dem Fischbrötchenempfang auf dem Messestand und dem ersten Games Compass Hamburg auf der gamescom, der gemeinsam mit InnoGames veranstaltet wurde.

Die Hamburger Spielebranche präsentierte sich mit innovativen Newcomern und starken Unternehmen auf der größten Computer- und Videospielmesse der Welt in Köln. Zum ersten Mal lud gamecity:Hamburg bereits am Fachbesuchertag zum Netzwerken zum traditionellen Fischbrötchenempfang.

Tim Angerer von der Behörde für Kultur und Medien Hamburg und Dennis Schoubye, neuer Projektleiter von gamecity:Hamburg begrüßten zusammen mit Michael Zillmer, COO und Gründer InnoGames, zum Fischbrötchenempfang auf dem neu gestalteten 232 qm2 Gemeinschaftsstand.

„Unser diesjähriges Standkonzept mit der Kombination einer offenen Lounge-Fläche und zusätzlichen Konferenzräumen ist bei Besuchern und Ausstellern gleichermaßen gut angekommen. Wir freuen uns über das positive Feedback und eine erfolgreiche gamescom für unsere Aussteller“, so Dennis Schoubye.

InnoGames, größter Aussteller am Stand und einer der führenden Entwickler und Publisher von Browser- und Mobile Games, brachte am Dienstagabend beim Games Compass zusammen mit gamecity:Hamburg internationale Führungskräfte und Entscheider aus der deutschen Spielebranche zusammen.

Die gamescom bedeutet nicht nur für etablierte Unternehmen das Treffen mit internationalen Business-Kontakten, auch junge Unternehmen und Start-ups profitierten von wertvollen Meetings auf der Messe. So unterstützte gamecity:Hamburg zwei Nachwuchsteams, Bagpack Games und Team Octofox, und ermöglichte ihnen die Teilnahme an der Indie Arena Booth, der größten Plattform für unabhängige Indie Games mitten in der Entertainment Area in Halle 10.2.

Was für unsere Aussteller die Teilnahme an der gamescom am Gemeinschaftsstand der gamecity:Hamburg bedeutet, erklären sie im beigefügten Video.
