Growing Games: Business models, partners and strategy

Note: This event will be in English

Making a business out of your game studio

A successful game studio is about much more than just making a great game. Unless you consider, how you are going to earn money from your game, chances are, your time as game development studio is limited. But how do you make money on your game, and how do you decide, what the best way of earning money is, for your game and your game company? And how do you put together a strategy based on that knowledge?

This Growing Games will dive deeper into the questions of business models and business strategies, and help you explore all the possible business opportunities that your game company has, and which of them can give you the biggest chance of succeeding. We’ll be looking at all the difference business models, their pros and cons, how to build a strategy based on this, and how to find and connect with the potential partners, that can help you reach your strategic goals.
