Objective
STRATEGIES aim is to support Europe’s game industries in realising their potential as drivers of sustainable innovation, contributing to achieving the goals of the European Green Deal and delivering an economy that works for people. Europe’s game developers are a vital cultural and creative industry whose capacity to meet climate goals must be achieved as a matter of urgency. The size, energy and resource intensive nature of game development means that these industries are key contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ecological destruction. There are over 4,900 video game developer studios in Europe, employing 98,000 people, with a combined revenue of €23.3bn. Although smaller in size, Europe’s board game industry is also a significant CCI, with revenues projected to reach $4 billion by 2023. Analogue and video game developers share expertise, creative practices, and workers, and can support one another to meet challenges and take up opportunities. In video and analogue game development, micro and small enterprises represent over 90% of the industries.
