At the beginning of 2016, the Engagement Migros development fund has launched a matchmaking module to offer Swiss studios a platform on the international stage. In matchmaking sessions at festivals in Switzerland and abroad, the development fund connects Swiss developers with international investors and publishers such as Nintendo, Channel 4, Sony, Xiaomi and Arte. The aim of the meetings is to strengthen domestic studios and enable them to connect to the global market.
Two studios were able to win international deals at the matchmaking event at the Marché du Film Cannes 2016.
Apelab das Genfer Studio, konnte mit Orange einen Vertrag abschliessen für den Vertrieb ihres VR Games „Break a Leg“ und „Sequenced“ auf der Orange VR Experience Plattform. Die Spiels erscheinen im Dezember für iOS, Android, Oculus Rift und HTC Vive.
Somniacs aus Zürich haben mit der grossen französischen Kinokette mk2 einen Kauf- Mietvertrag abgeschlossen für den weltweit ersten Vogelflugsimulator „Birdly„. Dieser wird ab anfang Dezember im neuen Virtual Reality Showroom shown by MK2.
These matchmaking events are a brilliant thing for developers. It enables them to exchange ideas with investors and publishers and work on potential projects. The next big matchmaking event is just around the corner. This will be Ludicious Zurich Game Festival and will be a big and important part of the festival. We naturally hope that further international deals with Swiss developers will follow.
