Road to Nordic 2025 - These Four Hamburg Games are Traveling to Malmö

With a spacious expo area, exciting developer showcases and many opportunities for business meetings, the Nordic Game Conference is one of the most important games conferences in Europe. It offers developers plenty of opportunities to network and meet relevant business contacts in person. Gamecity Hamburg will be back again in 2025, bringing four indie games from Hamburg to Malmö as part of the “Road to Nordic” program.

We can't wait to see Malmö again and to fully exploit the potential of Nordic Game 2025 together with the teams from our programs. Developers accompanying the Gamecity Hamburg team as part of the “Road to” program will present their games to the conference audience at the joint booth of Gamecity Hamburg and Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg and make contacts with potential future business partners. 

Meet us at Nordic Game 2025

From May 20 to 23, you can meet our teams and developers at our Gamecity Hamburg booth at the Nordic Game Conference in Malmö. Here you can for example talk to the Gamecity Hamburg team about game development and funding opportunities in Hamburg. We look forward to seeing you!
