«She Got Game» Initiative at Gamescom 2024 

This year, in addition to the SwissGames delegation, we will also have participants from She Got Game present at Gamescom. In 2022, Pro Helvetia successfully launched its first-ever call for participation for women in the international interactive media sector with «She Got Game». In the subsequent first edition of the programme in 2023, we counted 17 participants from all over the globe.

For the second edition of the mentoring and networking programme, game developers from all over the world applied. More than a professional boost, the programme aims to strengthen equal opportunities in the game industry. «She Got Game» is designed to break down barriers to access, qualification, networking, and visibility for women in the game industry. It offers participants one-on-one mentoring with proven experts as well as online lectures, peer-to-peer forums, and an opportunity to showcase their work. The manifold offerings enable the promotion of entrepreneurial and professional competencies and the achievement of practical objectives. This year, the initiative is supporting 18 female game developers. You can find a list of all the participants here.
