Details
The first edition of the Video Game Incubator saw 9 studios certified upon completion of the program. They are continuing along the path they have forged, which leads them towards fundraising, signing an agreement with a publisher, or simply a vertical slice that will be crucial in the short term.
This innovative program is committed to supporting a second cohort in 2026. It is spearheaded by the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication of Morocco, the French Embassy in Morocco, and the French Institute of Morocco. It aligns with the Ministry’s strategy for advancing the gaming industry in Morocco. It is particularly tied to the ambitious Rabat Gaming City project, which aims to establish Rabat as a major hub for the gaming industry in Africa and globally.
The second edition of the Video Game Incubator is aimed at development studios, whether already established or in the process of being established, that wish to take their business to the next level and see the international market open up.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Follow a specialized program and receive guidance from internationally renowned video game experts.
- Attend training modules tailored to their specific needs.
- Access a strategic network of key industry players.
