As part of the three year project (09/2024 - 08/2026), the Game Hub for SMEs in the Capital Region, a new type of game lab was created in Otaniemi, Espoo. The goal of Espoo Game LAB is simple: equip participants with the essential skills to either land a job in the game industry or establish their game companies. The programme covers key areas like game design, programming, content production, game production and business know-how. The Espoo Game LAB participants get to develop their games as well as themselves in a professional environment. The first Espoo Game LAB round began in March 2024. The next round of application will be in the end of 2024. Stay tuned for more info! The Game Hub for SMEs in the Capital Region -project is funded by the City of Espoo and the European Union. **Note: The participants of the Espoo Game LAB are not employed by the city nor do they receive any compensation from their participation in the programme. **
