🎮 With the recent expansion of SXSW Sydney to include a dedicated gaming festival, the growing role of the gaming industry in the global economy and creative sectors is clear. 🎮 For indie game developers, forming successful partnerships with larger studios or publishers is more than a creative endeavor—it’s a strategic economic move. As gaming emerges as a leading entertainment sector, partnerships can unlock essential resources, funding, and greater market reach. However, without the right strategies, even promising collaborations may struggle to deliver value in today’s competitive landscape. With major events like SXSW Sydney highlighting the industry’s economic impact, it’s more crucial than ever for indie developers to build strong alliances. 

🆕Just in: Belgium's #gaming industry is leveling up. 🎮 With top-tier programs like Howest - Digital Arts and Entertainment - producing top talent, new government initiatives aim to retain graduates and boost the local industry. Despite challenges, the market grew by 1.5%.📈 to €821M in 2023, with mobile gaming leading the charge. What are the projections for the coming year? Explore global gaming trends in PwC’s 2024 Global Entertainment & Media Outlook: https://lnkd.in/eQBGR94m #PwCOutlook #Entertainment #Media

With our extensive knowledge and expertise across various industries, PwC Belgium is able to provide the media a broad range of valuable insights, analyses, and thought leadership. 📺 This annual Entertainment & Media Outlook is one such example, offering invaluable economic data on the entertainment and media sector. ➡ Last year, we highlighted the Belgian festival scene; this year, our focus shifts to the gaming sector in collaboration with the strong gaming education division at Howest - Digital Arts and Entertainment and director Dries Deryckere. 🎮 Despite the talent (think of Baldur's Gate by Larian Studios, led by Swen Vincke), realizing the potential remains challenging, and growth in 2023 has been limited. The entrepreneurial climate is not attractive enough for gaming companies to establish themselves here. Hopefully, we will see a shift thanks to government efforts such as the Flanders Game Hub.
