Responsible Gameplay - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE

🎮🏓 Playing is not just recreation, but a universal language that transcends national, cultural, and socio-economic boundaries, boosting social interaction and community sense.

#PowerOfPlay #VideoGamesEU
🎮💡 #VideoGames run on #IP

They are unique, complex works combining multiple arts and #tech and based on #IntellectualProperty rights. Clear IP protection promotes innovation, cross-collaborations and investments, enriching the #gameplay experience of players.
The #videogame #tech spillover has significantly benefited Europe’s economy. In the Nordic region, for instance, the impact recorded:
↗️ €221 million output in 🇩🇰
↗️ €151.2 million output in 🇫🇮
↗️ €814.2 million output in 🇳🇴
↗️ €314.1 million output in 🇸🇪

Impressive right?
European studios depend on access to local talent, and the qualitative pipeline has delivered some of the biggest global hits.

For the sector to continue generating growth, it needs the right support to create, attract, and invest in #skills and #talent.
