Unlocking Africa's Gaming Potential: Bringing the Global Industry to the Continent
Africa Games Week has established itself as a premier platform for the African gaming industry, with its sixth edition attracting over 1,980 attendees and 360 companies. The event's co-founders, Nick Hall and Rex Bowden, aim to create a gateway for African game developers to access the international market, addressing the challenges of geographical isolation and logistical barriers. By bringing the global gaming industry to Africa, they hope to foster meaningful connections, knowledge sharing, and business opportunities. With a focus on showcasing African games and providing a platform for dialogue, Africa Games Week has become a vital hub for the continent's gaming ecosystem. As the event continues to evolve, its organizers are exploring ways to maximize value for both African and international developers, with a vision to create a comprehensive platform that showcases the best of African gaming and provides a springboard for the industry's growth.
