A new home for Bavaria’s games industry: DIE GAMEREI opens in Munich

Bavaria’s games industry has a new hot spot: On July 26, Minister of State Dr. Fabian Mehring officially opened DIE GAMEREI in Munich. As a center for games development and culture, DIE GAMEREI provides a home for the Bavarian games development scene. Developers and creatives meet here to work together on innovative projects and help shape the future of the industry in Bavaria.

With the opening of DIE GAMEREI, Bavaria is creating a place where ideas can sprout and collaborations can flourish. In his speech at the opening, Minister of State Dr. Fabian Mehring emphasized the importance of DIE GAMEREI for strengthening the local games industry and promoting innovation and creativity.

We have put together a little insight into the festivities for you here:

In addition to workplaces, DIE GAMEREI also offers networking opportunities and events by and for the games community. The positive response shows how important such a location is in Bavaria.

As part of the opening of DIE GAMEREI, funding commitments were also awarded to a total of twelve new games projects from Bavaria, which the FFF Bayern is supporting with a total of around 870,000 euros. The funded projects include both innovative indie games and ambitious VR experiences.

DIE GAMEREI is a project of Games/Bavaria and is being funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Digital Affairs with 560,000 euros over two years. With its opening, Bavaria is sending a strong signal for the future of the games industry.

We look forward to experiencing and supporting the developments and successes of our community up close, meeting you there and exchanging ideas with you or organizing events for you.
