Games

The games industry has evolved from video games, home computers, arcade machines and pinball machines to a modern gaming experience based on virtual technologies, the cloud, networks and communities worldwide. Beyond these developments, aspects such as cosplay, retro gaming, events, music, family and friends, and merchandise have emerged. This enables each generation to pursue its passion for gaming to the full in its own way.

This starting point highlights the potential within the games industry. Around half of German companies continue to expect positive economic growth for the sector as a whole. Publisher, developer, indie developer, writer, animator, artist and professional gamer are established professions. However, a significant shortage of skilled workers is becoming apparent, as one in two companies forecasts an increased need for staff.

At our Centre of Excellence, we are actively engaged in the ongoing digital transformation of this sector and have set ourselves the goal of strengthening it in a professional, forward-looking and sustainable manner. In particular, by recruiting the necessary skilled personnel.
